Thank you, @GavinNewsom, for signing AB 2085 & AB 2099 into law! With the support of @PPActionCA, we're protecting and expanding access to critical reproductive health services for all Californians. #ReproductiveRights #PlannedParenthood

PPAC is disappointed by @CAgovernor’s refusal to expand asynchronous telehealth, a critical tool for accessing timely reproductive health care, to millions of Medi-Cal patients.
Full access to varied telehealth modalities is critical to a more equitable health care system.
It’s unfortunate @CAgovernor vetoed AB2339, which would’ve helped level the playing field for Medi-Cal patients, who continue to be unjustly relegated to a 2nd tier health care system.
Coverage is nothing w/out access. These patients deserve access to the full spectrum of care.

Thank you @AsmChrisWard and @calgbt for your courage and dedication on #AB1955.
Inclusive school environments where students feel safe to be themselves should be the standard, not the exception.
As proud supporters of this bill, we urge @CAgovernor to sign it into law.
I’m relieved that #AB1955 is now on its way to @CAgovernor. I want to thank each and every person who showed up and chose to be vulnerable while sharing their personal story as this legislation passed through multiple committees and was voted on in the Assembly and Senate. I want to thank everyone who was respectful and debated this bill on its merits without using inflammatory rhetoric and hurtful language. I also want to thank the LGBTQ+ students in school districts that have enacted forced outing policies for their bravery as the Legislature weighed in on this important issue.
The very personal decision for a student to come out should be on their own terms to whoever they choose to share that information with when they are ready. Teachers should not be the gender police. The SAFETY Act simply ensures that conversations about gender identity happen at home without interference from anyone outside of the family unit. As a parent myself, I encourage all parents to talk and listen to their children and love them unconditionally for who they are. While some states continue to pass regressive policies, I’m hopeful the governor will sign this bill into law soon and continue California’s leadership in protecting LGBTQ+ rights.

Two years ago today, SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, absolutely devastating abortion access across the country.
This chaos continues to impact countless people’s lives every single day, but our team works tirelessly to keep AbortionFinder.org up-to-date. Spread the word.

The Trevor Project has made the decision to close its account on X.
Read our full statement here.
ALT A statement from The Trevor Project announcing its departure from the platform X, formerly known as Twitter. "The Trevor Project has made the decision to close its account on X given the increasing hate & vitriol on the platform targeting the LGBTQ community – the group we exist to serve. LGBTQ young people are regularly victimized at the expense of their mental health, and X's removal of certain moderation functions makes it more difficult for us to create a welcoming space for them on this platform. This decision was made with input from dozens of internal and external perspectives; in particular, we questioned whether leaving the platform would allow harmful narratives and rhetoric to prevail with one less voice to challenge them. Upon deep analysis, we’ve concluded that suspending our account is the right thing to do."

On #WorldContraceptionDay, we’re calling on @POTUS and Congress to take concrete steps to require insurance plans to cover contraceptives whether they’re prescribed or available over the counter! We need equitable access now. Join us ➡️bit.ly/FTP_InsuranceCoverage #FreeThePill

Today is the 51st anniversary of Eisenstadt v. Baird, the #SCOTUS decision that granted people the right to contraception for people who aren’t married. In 2023, more needs to be done to ensure contraceptive equity and patient-centered contraceptive care for ALL. #HandsOffMyBC
