    Our goal:

    Make more restrooms available to patients with urgent bathroom needs (whatever the cause).

    You can help us spread awareness by: 

    • Recommending a business near you to join the movement

    • Sharing your own restroom access story, or 

    • Signing our petition in support of the cause!

    Suggest a business or municipality:

    You can help us grow our movement by requesting the participation of a business or public building/municipality near you. Please fill out the fields below to add your suggestion. We will then share your input with the businesses to let them know of your interest, particularly when there are multiple requests!

    Share your story!

    Have you or a loved one faced issues with public restroom access? Your unique story can help us spread awareness—please share your experience below.

    Please sign our petition!

    We, the undersigned, believe that more restrooms should be made available and accessible to the general public. 

    We understand that it creates more work for a business when they let people who are not customers use their restrooms; we value their generosity in opening their doors. 

    We very much prefer patronizing businesses that make their restrooms accessible and available to the public. 

    We hope that the Open Restrooms Movement will encourage more businesses and municipalities to open their restrooms to people in need.


    By adding my name to this form, I am giving the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation permission to share updates on this campaign with me directly. In addition, the Foundation may place my first name and last initial and my city/state/zip on a list that will be used to inform businesses of all the people who are signing up to support this movement.
