How Has A Voice for Choice Advocacy Empowered You this Year?
Support AVFCA's 2023 Efforts with a Donation Today!
Your donation will help us get matching donations
This is A Voice for Choice Advocacy’s 7th Annual End of Year Fundraiser, and our most important fundraiser to date! In the next week, leading up to #GivingTuesday, A Voice for Choice Advocacy wants to join forces with YOU to raise $50,000 for our 2023 efforts! The sooner you are able to give, the quicker AVFCA can get on with our work and you can get on with yours!
As AVFCA looks back on the past year, we want to thank you for your support making it through the toughest legislative year in the history of the Health Rights/Medical Freedom movement in California. California came out ahead, with 6 of the 10 “Bad Bills” dying, 2 amended to rid them of offensive language, and 4 passed with amendments, watering them down significantly. 2022 was a year of Reactive Activism (fighting bad bills), but as AVFCA looks forward to 2023, there are many exciting projects on the horizon - A Voice for Choice Advocacy will be leading the way in generating Proactive Legislation (getting good bills authored), emboldening Grassroots Activism, creating Non-Toxic Schools, supporting Natural Childbirth Education, filing key Lawsuits and most importantly Empowering You!
A Voice for Choice Advocacy is one of only two 501(c)4 non-profits in California focused on Health Rights and Medical Freedom. Unlike 501(c)3 non-profits who have to limit lobbying to a maximum of 20% of their efforts, a 501(c)4 is allowed to spend 100% of their time on lobbying and advocacy. No other organization in California has the legislative expertise or experience to continue to lead this Health Rights and Medical Freedom movement at the Sacramento Capitol, with Reactive Activism (fighting bad bills) and Proactive Legislation (getting good bills authored). And no other organization has Empowered You with knowledge and actions to take issues into your own hands.
While there are many organizations asking for your donations for the work they have done and continue to do, A Voice for Choice Advocacy sees things a little differently. Similar to those other organizations, AVFCA could recite the many facets of work accomplished in the past year and say how wonderful our efforts have been, but when it comes down to it, the real question is…
How Has A Voice for Choice Advocacy Empowered You this Year?
And What Does that Value Mean to You?
If A Voice for Choice Advocacy did any of these things, or Empowered You in any other way this year, please give a donation so AVFCA can continue our tireless work in 2023 (see below for more details on matching donations and challenges).
Your donations will primarily go to paying our amazing team - Legislative Director, Health Rights Director, Non-Toxic School Program Director, Social Media Director, Managing Editor and Fundraising Director - as well as our two lobbyists, who give us the inside scoop into what goes on behind the doors in the Capitol. For a non-profit this is a very lean and fiscally responsible team. AVFCA takes serious consideration about how your donations will be spent and stretches our every single one of them. While AVFCA pays our team fairly, I (Christina) do not take any payment from A Voice for Choice Advocacy and continue to donate all my time.
