Population Connection (formerly Zero Population Growth or ZPG) is an organization founded in 1968 based on the failed predictions of Paul Ehrlich, as described in his book, The Population Bomb. Their "related organization" is the Population Connection Action Fund, which "educates and advocates progressive action to stabilize the human population."[1]
'Encourage People to Have Smaller Families'
According to their website, "ZPG’s early mission was relatively straightforward: raise public awareness of the link between population growth and environmental degradation and, in turn, encourage people to have smaller families."[2]
"Vasectomy Clinics"
The Population Connection explains on their website that over time, they realized that their agenda works better if people are given a choice, rather than enduring forced sterilization, for example:
- "In the 1970’s, ZPG opened vasectomy clinics. Today, ZPG hands out condoms with the wrappers embossed, 'Save the world: Use a condom.' ZPG is currently working on a National Population Policy, but it is based on choice and education—as it should be. We have found that our message works much better when people are given a choice and can make that choice for themselves."
Partner of the March for Science
Population Connection is listed on the March for Science website as a "partner."[3]
