Reproductive Freedom for All California Director Shannon Olivieri Hovis released the following statement:

“California has a critical role to play as a leader in reproductive freedom, especially in the face of unprecedented attacks on our rights across the country. We are proud to endorse these candidates, who have demonstrated unwavering commitment to protecting our freedom to make our own personal decisions about our bodies, lives, and futures. We need their bold leadership in Sacramento to ensure that California remains a beacon of hope and a stronghold for fundamental rights. We are thrilled to mobilize alongside our members in California to support these champions and ensure they are elected in November.”

This announcement builds on Reproductive Freedom for All California’s ongoing efforts to endorse and support candidates committed to protecting and advancing reproductive rights.

Reproductive Freedom for All is already on the ground in states across the country—including California—as part of its largest-ever electoral program, working to ensure reproductive freedom champions are elected from statehouses to the White House and that we protect and expand abortion rights and access through ballot measures. Our 2024 program connects voters with opportunities to make immediate, tangible changes to help build a future where everyone is free to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, and families.

In November, on the heels of yet another resounding victory for abortion rights in elections across the country, Reproductive Freedom for All launched its “Vote for Repro Freedom” campaign. This digital and grassroots campaign will harness the momentum of big wins in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky by encouraging voters to commit to voting in 2024 for reproductive freedom champions as the first step in mobilizing the 8 in 10 Americans who support legal abortion.
