Reproductive Justice Partners
Planned Parenthood of Northern CA:
Planned Parenthood of Northern California is the Northern Californian chapter of a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing reproductive healthcare including abortions and contraception. Moreover, it provides education on crucial topics such as consent, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). They administer essential services such as pregnancy care, transgender hormone therapy, women’s services and much more (learn more at Planned Parenthood Services). In the aftermath of the Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade the work of this chapter of Planned Parenthood has become even more imperative as people flood California to get abortions that are now banned or under extreme restriction in their home states.
Clinics in Orange and San Bernardino counties in Southern California saw a 900% increase in patients traveling from other states just in the first week following the overturning of Roe v. Wade (learn more at End of Roe v. Wade Makes California an Abortion Destination). Clinics in California are now the nearest access to abortions for 1.4 million people. Planned Parenthood in Northern California has met this increased need with persistence as they look at increasing hours and staffing to serve anyone who may seek an abortion. Moreover, the seven Planned Parenthood affiliates of California are teaming up with Governor Gavin Newsom to pass a state constitutional amendment (learn more at Legislative Leaders Applaud Historic Passage of Constitutional Amendment to Explicitly Protect the Right to Abortion, Contraceptives and SCA 10 ) to protect abortion rights. This will appear in the November ballot and we strongly urge you to support this measure.

NARAL Pro-Choice California:
NARAL Pro-Choice CA is a pro-choice advocacy organization that helps lead the fight for abortion access, birth control, an end to pregnancy discrimination, and paid family leave. This trailblazing organization fights for legislative protection of reproductive freedom in California via endorsing lawmakers who support any individual's right to reproductive healthcare. Their initiative PrivacyPAC is a statewide, non-partisan, pro-choice, action committee working hard to elect officials who support reproductive freedom.
Due to the Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade this work has become more important than ever to ensure California remains a safe haven for abortion rights. Primarily, they are fighting to pass is the State Constitutional Amendment 10 (SCA 10) mentioned previously that will prohibit the state from denying an abortion or birth control to any individual. Additionally, they are also championing a multitude of other bills which will protect and expand reproductive rights in California (learn more at NARAL Pro-Choice California Co-sponsored Bills).

WRRAP:
Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project (WRRAP) is a national nonprofit organization that provides funding for access to safe abortions and emergency contraceptives. They evaluate each individual’s eligibility on financial need alone and have funded reproductive healthcare for 2,250 people across all 50 states in 2020. Of these patients 77% were black, indigenous and people of color and 82% had been abandoned by their partners. WRRAP is partnered with over 700 healthcare providers that are all pre-screened to ensure the best medical care possible.
WRRAP is responding to Roe v. Wade being stricken down in full force by taking action such as funding access to abortion pills by mail. Moreover they were one of the many organizations that signed Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Amicus Brief at the supreme court which opposed Mississippi’s 16 week abortion ban. To find an abortion clinic, visit WRRAP’s Abortion Finder page that links directly to websites that will help you locate a nearby abortion clinic.
