California Proposition 1, Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment (2022), amends the California Constitution to make it illegal for the state to deny or interfere with the reproductive freedom of individuals in their most intimate decisions. This includes the fundamental right to have an abortion and the fundamental right to choose contraceptives.
Learn more about this measure from two local experts during this LWVSD webinar on Wednesday, September 14 from 7 to 8:30pm.
Constitutional scholar Marjorie Cohn, professor emerita at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law and member of the Advisory Board of the American Constitution Society in San Diego, will present the legal background and rationale behind Proposition 1.
Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest Vice President Lori Keim will address the impact of the Dobbs decision on California and the country from the perspective of an organization dedicated to reproductive rights.

San Diego will join marchers across the nation on October 2nd, before the reconvening of the Supreme Court, taking to the streets in every state to demand our right to reproductive healthcare.
This United States Supreme Court has effectively allowed the state of Texas to ignore nearly 50 years of precedent, stripping women of their constitutional right to access abortions. By refusing to intervene and allowing the state to ban all abortions after six weeks -- before many women even know they are pregnant -- the Court has denied abortion access to millions of Texan women.

Co-hosted with our partners the League of Women Voters San Diego. A special election is being held for the California State Assembly District 79. The position is vacant because Dr. Shirley Weber, our former representative, is now serving as California’s Secretary of State. The Primary is April 6; General, June 8. The 79th District includes Serra Mesa, Mission Valley, Linda Vista, Allied Gardens, Del Cerro, and southeastern areas of the city, parts of La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Bonita, National City and Chula Vista. There are 4 Democrats and 1 Republican running for this office.
The theme for International Women's Day this year is "Women in Leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world". The theme celebrates the tremendous efforts by women and girls around the world in shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Join the Women's Museum of California and Women's March San Diego for a discussion with San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas. The supervisor will talk about her experience leading San Diego through the pandemic as well as her experience on the campaign trail and becoming the first Latina elected to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Women leaders have demonstrated their skills, knowledge and networks to effectively lead in COVID-19 response and recovery efforts. Today there is more acceptance than ever before that women bring different experiences, perspectives and skills to the table, and make irreplaceable contributions to decisions, policies and laws that work better for all.
Millions of us, longtime activists, new activists, sisters side by side, marched through streets everywhere to guide and inspire a new generation. We broke barriers, we got the vote out, we got more women elected than ever before and you created US, the Women’s March. Despite a global pandemic and an insurrection, we continue onward, fighting for equity -- we are not equal, yet.
A woman’s work is never done.
Join us and our special guest speakers in a frank discussion about future goals on our path to building community and equity for all. We need your voice at the table.

California NOW is excited to celebrate the 'Art of Gender Equity.'
As we align our actions with our mission state and dedicate ourselves to the delicate art of intersectionality, we are reminded, leading with the 'all' in mind is a craft.
On December 6, 2019, join us to honor those who have dedicated themselves to thinking and acting intersectionally.
Join us in celebrating the achievements of our Gender Equity Champions.
Together we can create programs and public policies that put human rights based intersectional gender equity at the center and places women of color, not just in the frame, but in decision making leadership positions. Together we can integrate and engage men and boys to join women and girls in dismantling racialized hetero-patriarchal gender norms and through the creation of strategic alliances that incorporate our collective knowledge, leadership and power we can dismantle all other forms of structural oppression.
To get there, we need to reach the people using every tool available, especially as we move forward to educate, fight and win the battle in creating a more just and equitable world.
