Great Blogs About Choice:
"A woman's ability to decide how many children to have and when, without interference from the government, is one of the most fundamental rights we possess. It is not just an issue of choice, but equality and opportunity for all women."
– President Barack Obama

The Last Two Weeks Show Us: Advocacy for Reproductive Justice Makes a Difference!
In the past two weeks, it has become even more clear to us at CA RCRC just how much your voices make a difference in the fight for reproductive justice.
During Trust Women Week, people from over 50 organizations and all over the country voiced their support for women's right to reproductive health access. Out of the many organizations, RCRC ranked 6th in unique supporters, and we want to thank you for that!
There has also been a wonderful showing of support from people of all ages, and particularly among young people, at events throughout California commemorating the 39th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. This was certainly true of our January 22nd event: Choice + Justice + Faith Advocacy
Just this past week, in response to the Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to break under political pressure and take massive funding away from Planned Parenthood, there was an unprecedented response from the pro-choice community. People used social media of all forms to voice their opposition to the Komen Foundation's decision. So loud were the collective voices, they had no choice but to restore funding.
This shows us something: our voices can have a very real impact on reproductive health. In the coming year, which will no doubt see the continuation of political and financial attacks against reproductive health care, it is more important than ever to include voices of faith in the call for reproductive justice!
When the attacks seem overwhelming, remember these victories, and take the time to do what you can to keep them going. Whether its writing a letter to an editor or politician, blogging, holding events or using social media, you really can make a huge difference, even with a small gesture.
To get more involved in advocacy for Reproductive Justice, take a look at what CA RCRC has in store for this year.
