How can I get involved in ending infant male circumcision the US?

There is no medical justification to circumcise male children. This unnecessary practice is a violation of human rights, but can be stopped.

1. Educate yourself about the issue. Learn about the history of circumcision, the medical risks and benefits, and the ethical concerns. There are many resources available online, such as the website of the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC).

2. Talk to your friends and family about circumcision. Let them know about the risks and benefits of the procedure, and encourage them to think critically about whether or not to circumcise their sons.

3. Support organizations that are working to end circumcision. There are several organizations in the United States that are working to end circumcision, such as NOCIRC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). These organizations need your support to continue their work.

4. Write to your elected officials. Let them know that you are opposed to circumcision and that you want them to support legislation that would protect children from this unnecessary procedure.

5. Be an advocate for change. Speak out against circumcision whenever you have the opportunity. Write letters to the editor, call your local radio station, and talk to your friends and family about the issue. The more people who speak out against circumcision, the sooner it will end.
