California youth are experiencing an alarming rate of STIs. Young people make up more than 5 out of every 10 chlamydia cases in CA, and more than 87% are youth of color. @GavinNewsom must sign #SB954 into law! #YHES4Condoms

If left untreated, STIs can cause long-term + life-threatening consequences like increased risk of HIV, infertility, cancer and blindness. We need to make sure ALL teens have access to condoms so they can protect their health! @GavinNewsom, we urge you to sign #SB954 into law!

California spends approximately $1 billion annually on health costs associated with STIs. Implementing free condoms in high schools is a cost-effective strategy to help curb the state’s public health crisis. We urge @GavinNewsom to sign #SB954 into law! #YHES4Condoms

“SB 954 is a vital boost for our health. It’s about staying safe, making informed choices, and destigmatizing our sexual health. With STIs rising, especially among LGBTQIA+ youth and communities of color, this bill is key to a healthier future for California youth." @GavinNewsom

[Essential Access Health @EssnAccessHlth]

"By passing this bill, we're creating safer, healthier environments where youth voices are heard, and our needs are prioritized. It's about giving every young person the opportunity to thrive, no matter their circumstances."
