Hi
Friend,
We are thrilled to announce that
California’s justCARE:
Campus Action for Reproductive Equity team has
joined URGE:
Unite for Reproductive & Gender
Equity!
Founded in 2017, justCARE led the effort to pass California’s Senate Bill 24 (SB 24), bold legislation expanding access
to abortion — signed into law in October 2019 — requiring all public universities in California to
provide the abortion pill on campus.
As the
justCARE team transitions to URGE California (URGE CA), we would like
to thank justCARE’s campaign partners who were instrumental to the
success of SB 24:
- ACCESS Women's Health
Justice
- ACT for Women and
Girls
- ACLU of Northern
California
- NARAL Pro-Choice
California
- California Latinas for
Reproductive Justice
- Students United for Reproductive
Justice at UC Berkeley
- Women's Foundation of California /
Women's Policy Institute
We look
forward to continuing to work alongside these incredible folks as URGE
CA!
Although
justCARE will now be part of URGE, we recognize that the work is far
from over. As URGE prepares to launch our sixth annual, all-digital
Abortion Positive Tour on April 13, we are proud to
announce that we are bringing the justCARE campaign to URGE and
extending its mission to make on-campus abortion pill access a reality
for more young people in states across the country.
We are
honored to continue our shared legacy of organizing led by radical
young people and guided by a reproductive justice framework to
liberate and uplift young people of color, women, and LGBTQIA+ folks
in the South, Midwest, and — now — California.
Now,
please join us in welcoming our URGE CA staff: Dey, Sonja, Kavleen,
Jessy, and Carly!

24.

Solidaridad,
