3/21: Take a Stand for Reproductive Freedom!

ACLU of Northern California Action Alert
----------------------------------------------------------------------

TAKE ACTION, CREATE CHANGE
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM DAY 2007

Dear ACLU-NC Supporter,

For the past two years, we have successfully defeated serious
challenges to reproductive freedom Propositions 73 and 85 - which
would have put vulnerable teens in danger by mandating parental
notification for abortion. Thanks to your hard work raising awareness
and mobilizing voters, Californians rejected Prop. 85 by even greater
margins than Prop. 73.

Now we are looking to the future - although California has some of the
strongest laws protecting reproductive freedom in the nation, many
Californians still face substantial obstacles to accessing health
care. The ACLU-NC and many coalition partners continue to work
locally, nationally, and at the state level to protect reproductive
health care and increase access for all Californians.

I invite you to join the ACLU-NC at the California Coalition for
Reproductive Freedom's Reproductive Freedom Day 2007 to educate
your legislators about important reproductive freedom issues, network
with other women's health activists, and learn about emerging
issues.

WHEN: Wednesday March 21, 2007 9:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.

WHERE: Sacramento Convention Center 1400 J Street, Sacramento

Registration is $40 until February 9th, $60 after.

LIMITED Scholarships available!

COMMUNITY MEETING on Sexuality Education in Sonoma County

Sunday, February 11th

2 PM - 4 PM

@ the Peace and Justice Center, 467 Sebastopol Avenue, Santa Rosa

Recent years have shown a disturbing increase in medically inaccurate,
abstinence-only education in public schools across the country. Please
join educators, community leaders, and activists to discuss the state
of sex education in Sonoma County schools, and develop plans to ensure
that our youth receive comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date health
information.

For more information and to RSVP, please email ndye [at] aclunc.org

If you have not done so already, I invite you to become a proud
card-carrying member of the ACLU, and to encourage your friends and
family to visit our new website and sign up for our online
communications.

Sincerely,

Maya Harris
Executive Director, ACLU of Northern California
