🚍 The Stop the Clot Bus Tour is on the move!. It began in March with visits to Black churches, sparking lifesaving conversations about clot risks. Now we’re bringing education to more communities nationwide, because when awareness hits the road, prevention takes hold. ❤️

Heading back to class? Before choosing birth control, know your clot risk. 💊 Pill, patch, ring = estrogen = higher risk if you smoke, have extra weight, family history, or sit for long periods. ✅ Safer: condoms, copper IUD, progestin-only (OTC Opill).
