Last Tuesday, our Co-Sponsored budget request to establish the Forced Sterilization Compensation Program was included in the legislature’s budget bill and is now on Governor Newsom’s desk. Please help us urge Governor Newsom to include reparations to survivors of state sponsored forced sterilizations in California’s final budget by tweeting/posting on social media! Link to the social media toolkit in our bio. #EndEugenicsLegacy #AB1007

The legacy of eugenics continues to seep into state institutions across the country, including in CA. CA must lead national efforts to end eugenics ideologies and practices, in all its forms. Survivors of forced sterilization need justice NOW! #ThisIsRJ #ReproJustice

⭐️ Paid Opportunity for youth who are passionate about Reproductive Justice!⭐️

We are recruiting participants for a Youth Advisory Board (YAB) across California, Colorado, Texas, and Illinois!

We are collaborating with the following four organizations on a multi-state, multi-year research study - The University of Colorado at Anschutz, Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights (COLOR), Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health (ICAH), and Jane’s Due Process in Texas. The study explores young people's experiences with pregnancy decision-making and abortion.

YAB members will participate in two one-hour sessions over the course of one year and will be compensated $40 dollars each session, for a total of $80 dollars.

Meetings will be held virtually to allow for wider participation across the states.
The 2021 YAB cohort is scheduled to begin in May/June of this year - 2022 and 2023 cohorts will begin in their respective year.

Participants should be between the ages of 18 - 23; those with a passion for reproductive justice values and/or who have had a pregnancy (including abortion) are encouraged to apply. Individuals of all backgrounds, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and ability are welcome.

Link in bio to apply! #YAB #ThisIsRJ #ReproJustice #AbortionIsHealthcare
