Did you show up on last Saturday to Raise Your Voice for Freedom of Choice? Either in-person or virtually?
Together we made clear an attack on reproductive rights in one state is an attack on reproductive rights across the nation. Saturday's events were one step towards making abortion more accessible and less stigmatized.
Even if you were unable to attend, here's how you can continue to fight for reproductive freedom:
-
Educate Your Community by being a spokesperson on social media. Download our social media kit here.
-
Support Federal Legislation. Ask Congress to support the Women's Health Protection Act. Contact your Representative here.
-
Engage City & County Leaders with our Reproductive Freedom Proclamation, contact the PP team to learn more.
-
Contribute to the PPOCSB Abortion Aide Fund to ensure every person can make their own health decisions, donate here.
Thank you for your continued support of Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties. Visit our website www.SaveRoeNow.org to learn more and stay up-to-date about future events.

Our Work
73Forward Campaign Launching This Month!
|
|
NCJW, Inc. is excited to launch our newest campaign, 73Forward, to increase access to abortion services across the US. For too long, the faith-based narrative in this country has been one against abortion, yet Jewish tradition encourages and sometimes requires it. Through this campaign, NCJW will combat that narrative while working to remove educational, financial, and legislative roadblocks for people experiencing pregnancy. In addition, this campaign will help create meaningful opportunities for Jewish women and allies to join the movement using an intersectional and intergenerational approach that keeps those most affected front and center. Learn more at 73Forward.org.
What does it mean to be a Jewish feminist and work for justice through this lens? How do our feminist values and Jewish values intersect to shape NCJW’s work? On the twentieth anniversary of her seminal book, Yentl’s Revenge: The Next Wave of Jewish Feminism, join NCJW’s Scholar-in-Residence, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg to discuss how things have changed in the past twenty years and discover the vast diversity of Jewish feminisms. We’ll explore what it means to be a Jewish feminist organization and Jewish feminist activists in 2021 and beyond.
Everyone deserves safe, dignified, and affordable access to abortion care. With abortion access being restricted across the country, and Roe at risk of being overturned, now is the time for all of us to ask to take action to expand access. Join NCJW to explore how we can increase on-the-ground access to abortion services. Together, we’ll learn about the nationwide state of play and the opportunities to take action that affects real change in the lives of women, children, and families. We’ll share concrete ways to make an impact as part of NCJW’s new 73Forward campaign.
