Webinar: Why CA Needs a Reproductive Freedom Constitutional Amendment

Women's March San Diego joins the League of Women Voters (LWV) of California and LWV of San Diego in support and advocacy of this measure. Join us...

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.

March for Reproductive Rights - San Diego

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.

Onward to Equity

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.

Gender Equity Awards 2019

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.
