In less than two weeks, Governor Newsom will be releasing his budget proposal for CA and we need your help urging him to include the budget request to establish the Forced Sterilization Compensation Program.

Between 1909-1979 CA sterilized at least 20,000 people - a third of eugenics sterilizations nationwide. Eugenic ideologies and practices continue to seep into state institutions across the country.

It’s time to #CompensateSurvivors of forced sterilizations and #EndEugenicsLegacy

[ID: Bright yellow text on a black background that says, “I was 21 years old when I was sterilized without my consent. When I requested copies of my medical records I was made aware of three separate copies, which reflected conflicting reports of the procedure that was done. The hospital records were not the same as the prison medical records”. -Incarcerated at CA Women’s Prison]

🚨Action Alert: Call your state legislators toda

🚨Action Alert: Call your state legislators today and demand they support AB 15 & AB 16 to protect people and families from eviction during the pandemic and beyond.

AB 15 would extend COVID-19 eviction protections and AB 16 would provide assistance to tenants and small landlords.

Join us for a virtual day of action today urging Governor Newsom on social media to support the budget request to establish the Forced Sterilization Compensation Program.

Between 1909-1979 CA sterilized at least 20,000 people - a third of eugenics sterilizations nationwide. California led the nation in the eugenics movement and MUST lead in reckoning with its violent legacy.

[ID: Bright yellow text on a black background that says, “Rosie Zaballos had a developmental disability and, at age 16, was sterilized at Sonoma State Home, just a few days before her 17th birthday. Rosie died during her sterilization procedure. In the words of her niece: “I wanted there to be a record that this girl, at 16 years old, died because of a government policy- a policy that told people that this is what you do when you have somebody with a developmental disability.” -Eugenics Sterilization Legacy Survivor]

Join us for a virtual day of action tomorrow urging Governor Newsom on social media to support the budget request to establish the Forced Sterilization Compensation Program.

Eugenics and forced sterilizations have never stopped in this country. It has been 3 months since news broke out of the forced sterilizations at the ICE detention center in Georgia, 7 years since a state audit revealed women in California State prisons were being illegally sterilized and 41 years since California repealed its eugenics law, which resulted in at least 20,000 people being sterilized in state institutions across California. How much longer must survivors wait for some semblance of justice?

[ID: Bright yellow text on a black background that says, “60,000 people were sterilized under US eugenics programs in the 20th century. CA led in this effort of social engineering, sterilizing approximately 20,000 people - one third of the national total - in CA state institutions. Contemporary justifications for this practice rely on the core of tenants of eugenics. - Natalie Lira and Nicole Novak. It’s time to compensate CA survivors of forced sterilizations.” ]
