Reproductive Justice & Gender Equity
We work towards a state that is free of gender discrimination and that respects, values, and supports all Californians’ decisions about intimate relationships and reproduction.
Our Focus:
- Ensuring access to reproductive health care and sex education.
- Dismantling systems that disproportionately harm the bodily autonomy and family dignity of people of color.
- Supporting mechanisms that enable people of all genders to participate equally in school, work, and public life.
