Bayview Opera House, Inc. , colloquially known as the Opera House, was founded in 1989 to run programs at our namesake building, now officially named the Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Memorial Theatre. The building is San Francisco’s Landmark #8 and it was inducted into the National Register of Historic Buildings in 2011. The San Francisco Arts Commission had purchased and renovated the facility in the 1970's for use as a community cultural center, along with three other centers in disadvantaged neighborhoods. By the end of 80's the commission came to the conclusion that it was best to have each center run by a local group to provide programming instead of the commission itself running programs. BVOH received its 501(c)3 status in 1992. More info at: https://bvoh.org

Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights March & Rally
Oct

Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights March & Rally

Join the Rise up 4 Abortion Rights Bay Area Chapter

WE MARCH for the 10 year old little girl who was raped... then forced to travel to get an abortion because she was 3 days past the 6 week cut off of a “heart beat bill.”

WE MARCH for women like Mahsa Amini who are beaten by the morality police for showing a lock of her hair.

WE MARCH for the hopes & dreams of people to be free from all this.

Wear GREEN and join us in fighting for Legal Abortion on Demand & Without Apology Nationwide.

Forced motherhood is female enslavement.
When women are not free, no one is free.
This must never be accepted.
It must be relentlessly resisted, repudiated and reversed!

NOW is the time to hold nothing back.
NOW is the time to rouse thousands and soon millions in struggle so that we can look every person in the eye with the promise in word and deed that they will have a future as full human beings.
NOW is the time to decide what side of history you stand on.
NOW is the time to Rise Up, together, as if our lives depend upon it—for, in fact, they do.

The Janes film screening and Panel Discussion

The Janes film screening and Panel Discussion

Women's March San Francisco and The Commonwealth Club have partnered to put together an evening for us to come together as a community as we wait for the United States Supreme Court  decision on abortion rights (in Dobbs v. Mississippi) which is expected to be announced this month. If the leaked early draft of the decision holds up in the final opinion, some some 22 states are expected to quickly make abortion all but illegal, while California will likely remain one of the few where full abortion rights are guaranteed.

Join us for conversation on the role that California could play in a post-Roe environment for a special gathering including conversation, networking and learning. We have options for participating in person as well as virtually for this event:

June 28th In-Person at The Commonwealth Club, or virtually online

Discussion (4–5 PM PST)

  • Sylvia Ghazarian, Executive Director, Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project (participating via Zoom)

  • Gilda Gonzales CEO, Planned Parenthood Northern California

  • Buffy Wicks California State Assembly member (District 15)

Abortion rights leaders and legislators from across California will discuss what this moment means for the Golden State, how abortion rights might be further enshrined within the state, and what can be done to ensure that financial barriers are eliminated so that all women in California can have access to reproductive rights. 

Gathering (5–6 PM PST)

After the program, in-person attendees are invited to meet for a special outdoor reception on the rooftop deck of The Commonwealth Club to be in community and create and reinforce the connections required for this continued work. Light bites and wines from the Bay Area provided. 

Screening of The Janes (6–8 PM) with a virtual introduction from the film's directors preceding

With thanks to HBO/Warner Media, the gathering will also include a free community screening of the recently released HBO documentary The Janes, an in depth exploration of the Jane Collective, a clandestine abortion group that operated in Chicago before abortion rights were guaranteed by the Roe v. Wade decision.

In-person tickets and reception, obtain tickets here 

Virtual event tickets, reserve here

SF Pride Resistance Contingent

  • Steuart between Mission and Howard (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

SF Pride will lead off this Sunday’s parade with our annual Board Resistance Contingent that brings together activists and organizations fighting to overcome the equality and violence issues our community continues to face.

The overturn of Roe v. Wade has amplified the tight connection between LGBTQ+ rights and issues of reproductive health, and we are proud to announce we will be joining forces this year with Women’s March SF to lead the contingent. Women’s March SF has long been the standard bearer in our city for issues of reproductive justice and make for a natural fit to stand together with us in the fight for equality overall. The parade will be led by leaders from both organizations and will focus on the solidarity in our community on matters of reproductive rights, right alongside all of us fighting the anti-Trans and anti-LGBTQ+ laws we are seeing promoted across the country. Ultimately, we believe love will keep us together.

Come march with us and the SF Pride Resistance Contingent leading the Pride Parade on Sunday June 26th at 10 AM. You must register to march with us

We are meeting at Steuart St between Mission St and Howard St. We will be in section G2. There are no Cars, Bikes or scooters allowed in the Resistance Contingent; this is a Walking contingent.

Rally for Abortion Justice
Jun
24
5:00 PM17:00

Rally for Abortion Justice

This is not a drill. The U.S. Supreme Court has just overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping our right to abortion and opening the floodgates for states across the country to ban abortion.

The Supreme Court's decision could result in over half the states in the country moving to wipe out abortion access, leaving 36 million women, plus many others who can become pregnant, at risk of losing abortion access in their state. This includes 5.7 million Latino people; 5.3 million Black people; 1.1 million Asian people; and about 340,000 American Indian or Alaska Native people.

We’re fighting back! Join Gilda Gonzales, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Northern California, local and statewide elected officials, and reproductive rights advocates from across the Bay Area at San Francisco City Hall today at 5:00 pm to help us expand the movement to protect and expand abortion access!

2021 W Challenge - Women’s Equality Day
Aug
26
12:00 PM12:00

2021 W Challenge - Women’s Equality Day

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed deep inequities in our society. Women, especially women of color, are negatively and disproportionately impacted. According to a health study, 70 percent of women ages 18-29 and 55 percent of women of all ages have reported mental health challenges due to pandemic-related worry or stress. The lack of access to quality healthcare, job and economic security, childcare and other family support services, are major barriers many women face today.

We can make real changes by raising our voices and exercising our right to vote. Join our W Challenge community and expand our representation today!

Join with citywide women leaders at the #WChallenge Celebration for Women’s Equality Day on Thursday, August 26 at 12 noon on the steps of City Hall to hear about ways to expand our representation and support women’s wellbeing and community health.

This year’s W Challenge is about taking action. We encourage all women to make a plan to vote for the upcoming election. Please bring your completed and signed ballot to drop off at City Hall on Women’s Equality Day or visit the Voting Center after the event.

Women’s March San Francisco is proud to continue as a supporting partner of the W Challenge since it was founded in 2018 by our friend City Administrator Carmen Chu. It is a collaboration led by San Francisco City Administrator Carmen Chu, the Department on the Status of Women and the League of Women Voters San Francisco with a simple goal of raising women’s voices and expanding women's representation.

Rise Up with Asians March & Rally

Calling out our Bay Area Community! Our Asian and Asian-American community is distraught, heartbroken, and exhausted.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an alarming rise of Asian hate in the United States.

We urge you to stand by us and stand for us; to uplift our community and amplify our voices. We ask you to come together with us to advocate for justice and healing. Join us for a peaceful, safe, and social-distanced march & rally to show solidarity for the Asian/Asian-American community in light of the recent Asian hate crimes and issues.
