Thank you @womensfoundca for honoring the FAB Council with the Visionary Award. It has truly been a privilege to work with such powerful people dedicated to protecting and expanding access to abortion for those seeking care in CA #SolísPolicyInstitute
Excited to continue serving the #CAFABCouncil as Chairperson and joining the @CACoalition4RF as an Executive Committee Member. The FAB Council's joining of CCRF enhances our fight for reproductive freedom in California.

Grateful for Jamie's mentorship since the beginning of my California political journey within his inaugural @CapFellowsCSUS class. His commitment to fostering community and supporting young leaders has been instrumental to developing the Capital community. Thank you, Jamie!
Yesterday, I presented a Senate Resolution to Jamie Taylor thanking him for his decades of service to the #CASenate, most recently as Director of the Senate Fellows Program. I’m excited to work with him in his new role as Senate Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion!
@PPActionCA coming with RECEIPTS 👏🏾PROOF 👏🏾TIMELINE 👏🏾SCREENSHOTS 👏🏾 to show that your elected officials are as @reneerapp said best “clinically obsessed with our bodies”
Two years without #RoeVWade and without our constitutional right to abortion. We’re channeling our anger by journaling (burn book counts, right? 😉) about the elected officials who consistently vote against abortion access. Not fetch!

The PPAC team made waves in D.C! We met with CA federal representatives & discussed ways to strengthen abortion and gender-affirming care, patient safety and confidentiality, & how we can collaborate with Congress to fully fund reproductive health & eliminate the Hyde Amendment.
I had the opportunity to join the @WhiteHouseGPC and California members of Congress, with @PPActionCA to discuss the work California has done and recos to strengthen gender-affirming care, patient safety and confidentiality, and the need for reproductive healthcare funding.
An amazing time at the 15th Annual @CABlackCaucus Leadership Symposium! Grateful for the insightful discussions and ability to support future young Black leaders.
I had a great time connecting with the newest @womensfoundca Solís Policy Institute Reproductive Health/Rights/Justice team on a panel discussing key issues, challenges, and opportunities in the California RJ space with advocates and alums 🫶🏿
Senator @LaphonzaB taking time to visit a PPNorCal health center. Breaking barriers in the Senate while being a champion for reproductive rights and we are thrilled!
Abortion bans cause dangerous conditions for all pregnant-capable people.
In one Idaho county, Drs discuss their difficult decision to leave, citing restrictive abortion laws in the state.
Now, the closest obstetrics dept in the county is 1 hour away.

Planned Parenthood is excited to congratulate @LaphonzaB on being sworn in today as California's newest Senator. The people of California are lucky to have you advocating for them and we look forward to working with you as we continue the fight for reproductive freedom for all.
