it but 12 satellites are restrictive reproductive rights we see a tax going on beyond deposition and witnessing assault think conception and from joined affirming care those are under it minnesota the. >> too many of women and in reality they're graveling effected. >> the message if the reproductive rights freedom is clear they won't stop until adoption are completely polished and in this ever evolving environment we need all the government to act when it comes to reproductive rights freedom the local and state and federal level and the local is vital in the operation by approve the security and implementing buffer zip codes that protect the

patients if protesters. local coalition like the bayview coalition is critical to find solutions and working collaborating to strengthen us at the san francisco reproductive rights act you'll hear important about another shining example of san francisco leading the way once again at the local level and i want to thank you for your commitment and dedication and any my great honor to introduce someone a long time supporter and vocal championship k champion please join me mayor of san francisco london breed (clapping) thank you. >>. thank you very much. nicole for the introduction and for opening up the space an opportunity to come together to deal with something we all every thought we'd be dealing with and

in fact, where robe wade was overturned two years ago that set in motion a monument that i think is brought women all over the country to fight for the ability to make decisions about our bodies. we shouldn't have to explain what it is we need when it comes to any health decision thereby protected and the fact we have to now fight against policies that provide technical detailed around what you can and cannot it is really offense and it is our bodies it is our choice and we should be able to make any decision we need to and we shouldn't have to talk about whether or not in raise or inner safety net arrest this and that not part of the excavation i'm proud no, when rodeo wade was

overturned 2 years our director of the commission on the status of women kimberly through the vision leadership created the bayview adoption rights coalition as a way - we figured out back. created this as an opportunity to bring the various bayview counties together to prepare sadly for women who might be traveling to the bay area and looking for reproductive rights care no questions asked i appreciate her leadership and what we've been able to do to provide the resources to make sure that is possible and that we are able to be that sanctuary for women. it is really extraordinarily to be here today at the scene of coalition of leaders here joining us to make that clear

including members of board of supervisors i'm proud of the work they have done and will continue to do to stand up for reproductive rights and whatever capacity they serve and have why is this important? it is important for the reasons that nicole stated but more importantly it can't be a conversation that we have at the board of supervisors. this can't just think or be an ordinance we have to demonstrate with the voters of san francisco what our values are and how we'll continue as a city to fight against any injustice that reproductive rights health and freedom will continue to be protected in the city in whatever way possible one of the things i want to touch on we have two of those crises pregnant centers in our city that have been to women and efficient when you're going to

said what all your options you're told like you'll go to hell if i get an abortion we don't need people telling someone we don't know what they're going drove and what it leads to the fact up and coming those kinds of centers exist and people are not aware of what they are when they're walking into the doors another reason we need to make sure that signage is appropriate and make sure that that we are using every resource san francisco has to protect reproductive rights in any way, shape, or form and so that's what had ballot measure represents and the reproductive rights act will do a couple of things declare a policy of the city for the comprehensive reproductive rights freedom and require our department of public health and dr. colfax the director be located here today

to provide public library information where people can access repulsive services including the city supported clinics all over san francisco and prohibit the use of the city funds to cooperative or support prosecution of an adoption or reproductive rights services that is laugh in 80 california we'll not be moving forward into synagogue we don't believe in and restrictive the funding for facilities don't provide or prefer a comprehensive health services have to have all the services that require signages and crises pregnant centers centers and people don't provide reproductive rights healthcare and where they can get the information that establishes the fund that private dollars the accessing reproductive rights

healthcare and amend the planning code to they are a admitted use whatever ruse permitted so a lot of technical bureaucracy but ultimately this you accomplishes the goals it is more important so 0 we're here standing today, i know we to have a number of speakers and i will save my long list of thank you's to the at the end i want to make sure we have an opportunity to hear from all of them i'll so grateful and humble that so many of us have come together in the fight to make sure three pedestrians freedom for all women and i'm proud that this is not just a san francisco thing but this is a bayview thing that is all of our counties coming together to demonstrate that we are whether our das or elected leaders and

me and project manager a woman for murder in texas is absolutely terrifying to me the fact that 121 states are for restrictive laws since rodeo wade was over turned is absolutely terrifying to me and 22 million we have a long way to go and girls are effected the fact we have a hope here in san francisco that means so much to me that fear we're all in especially women i know especially those have daughters we can't sit not tear? so important please removal this fear and direct any attention to what you'll have me do and we're getting into action and the fact we're in action that is powerful to let the world know and the

appoint for the mayor we are underrepresented in politics but overrepresented um, in terms of the poverty in california. >> in california poverty as a single mom is latino i say this in san francisco we have been the beacon people came from all over the world to reinvent themselves so upward possibility and my family came here pe i was 12 and adoption was still illegal and people were prosecuted for having adoptions and, you know, this place san francisco is values of openness and tolerance of freedom. and we must continue to do so. i am a mother of three girls i think

that what i am seeing right now in terms of changing metrics around our country about the basic human rights of controlling your body is deeply terrifying as my colleague said in district 2 a woman. >> but supervisor stefani but also, we are recovering from the pandemic around the country as a city and country no such thing an economic progress as upward mobility and freedom for everyone without repreoccupation rights and the basic rights to have control over your body, your families who you're responsible for so we're going to be consistent with our san francisco scrawls vacation dwellings we must continue to be that beacon of hope that sanctuary for everyone in the

country to access basic human rights i'm grateful to planned parenthood and the mayor and colleagues over in the family month grateful for so clear from the beginning we must do this and a practical thing with the legislation i was under the planning commission was entitled people picketed that and actually one of any colleagues it was intense having is there be no question this is a permitted use no later than is important. and that process so for the practical reasons but also the values that we are putting out into the world and doubling down. because we are all activists here and going to continue to be that beacon of hope for the rest of the crises

as needed thank you for being here. and i will now introduce my dear dear colleague in district 9 supervisor ronen. >> thank you, everyone. it is very exciting to be here today and an honor to be here and that's because i think what all of us have of the since the adopted decision in unthinkable reality of oewd wade over turned in the united states of america to make sure that my daughter and mother and sister my cousin and aunts and that they will continue to have the only control over higher both sides

that's the way it should be and as a former supervisor of the former location of planned parenthood i have talked about this for decades and thought that san francisco especially with in charge the status of women i thought we have doing everything we can with our local laws to protect women's was over the control of our own both sides of mayor a ton of additional things she fud found we can do and it is fantastic what at supervisor stefani touched on that inability to figure out what we call to fight back by putting this on the ballot we have had this in the board of supervisors but on the ballot we are telling every san franciscan you california do

something meaningful in our own city to fight back and part of making history and laying down the law and saying that's who and what we stand for we're not going to do this for you we're going to bring you into the office and all join and fight together that's piece of paper what we should do and thank you, mayor london breed and i'm very honored to now introduce our district attorney (clapping.) thank you everyone. >> i'm brook jennings the san francisco district attorney and honored to stand understood mayor london breed the women of the board of supervisors, of course, our head of the department on the stuts kimberly and a number of leaders today to

crawl on the voters to pass the san francisco reproductive rights act. when i think of the adoption decision i don't think we saw the domino affect on is rights that we have. i think we all understood the impact on the rights of adoption but i watched things play out and watched other opportunities for reproductive rights healthcare is diminished across the country i had to confirm and personal story not that long ago i was told by a physician i couldn't conceive children to you as you can tell healthcare to figure out how i was going to be able to have children that meant considering imbet and went through that i learned after that thatwa capable of having kids naturally after paying a large bill

(laughter) but, but any bring that up again watched this play out we have seen across the country families of both lgbtq families as well as male and female marriage partners didn't understand the imboard member testa fertilization services and i don't think we could have anticipated like i said this is very personal. i'm here to stand alongside everyone with all the rights to be protected here on a san francisco. um, and this act doubles down 0 the commitment to advancing reproductive rights for all women san francisco will a leader and has been i thank the leaders behind me for pushing us for the record will i supervisor ronen in a moment you know that is nothing more to do they've figured out something

else to continue to make sure that women in san francisco and from all over the country to come and have access to the care they need working to make sure that punishment privacy is protected and no jurisdiction outside of california and seek to demonize women he or them or seeking care is just something we can't accept and that we must protect against here in san francisco my offense doing everything we can to make sure that women to access the care in the medical professionals that provide that care are are save and protected and crystal clear we will not tolerated any threats of violence or vibrant actions again women or facilities like the one we stand in today, if you come here to harm people or do thing that threaten them or

make them feel bad we're for the scared to prosecutor i - i want to just to be clear, we're coming to push for this act to be passed i stand here as a a district attorney doing everything we can to protect those that seek this care and so at this time i'm honored to pass it off to the cfo of the access health amy (clapping.) good morning imagine. >> i'm amy for access health in the bayview organizations for champions that had healthcare for all and it is the honor and privilege of my career i've been doing this for 25 years and 25 years ago we started ringing the alarm bells and the core supreme

court can overturn rodeo wade and now the devastating nightmare has come to bear and the impact has been rapid and effected the lives of more than $20 million of millions people across the united states and i think about the helpers and that i wake up in california and in san francisco we have leaders that understand that access to deposition is healthcare and that the ability to have the autonomy it critical for the individual our families and community health and well-being so the central access we're proud to establish with a coalition partner and leaders with new grant programs to protect and providing funding for partnered hood and other key

partners to make sure anyone in need of adoption care whether you live in san francisco or california or other states can come to san francisco and the funding is not enough. so we have to make sure we can continue to booster the resources to expand the access. so across the country continues to impact really cruel and callous measures it restrict access to essentially healthcare and body autonomy in san francisco o in california and san francisco we have an obligation and responsibility to every tool to use it to stand healthcare and this measure introduced and b on it san francisco long history of taking bold action in support of justice a unique model for other

jurisdictions to adopt and building on san francisco leadership as the leaders and we urge san francisco to stand up for san francisco values in support of this measure and we also thank mayor london breed for her leadership bringing this forward at the (clapping.) and my pleasure to introduce a colleague and examine jessica the executive director of access for justice (clapping). >> good morning average everyone i'm jessica and the executive director at access reproductive justice for adoption funds and in the year following we supports 18 hundred people across california and beyond in accessing adoption care so the primary folks we

support through our adoption funds are in california accessing care in the state so and folks who come if other states to california to access care. not only following the decisions in one hundred and one hundred and fifty percent caller volumes by saw a 10 to 15 percent increase for the out of state and we know that the level of care that folks were coming from out of state is dramatically different and increased we're going looking at airfares and lodging and transportation and childcare and food. a number of kind of wrap around services that make it possible for the healthcare they want and need and so access r) is really to support the reproductive rights freedom act and as a grateful to mayor

london breed and the city and county of san francisco for working to further human rights. we know that even in our reproductive rights freedom state like california and the municipalities is im3e6r we make sure that our since and those who travel for adoption care know and understand they are safe and they are seen and they are heard. as california statewide domestic funds we see experiences of individuals seeking adoption care throughout the stay and regularly answering the callers questions whether they'll be judged for the or treated with dignity and went that they deserve. this initiative makes sure that if approved by the voters san francisco city and county of san francisco will unequally say yes to each of the questions. access r j callers are identified as

black or inagainst people of color or in their 20s will been city and county of san francisco valid indicts them and experiences but also doing everything we can as so the mentioned to make sure two and three interest increased access to financial services there the reproductive rights act. as well as protections discrimination as crises pregnant centers a finally would further protect individuals of the decision making for investigated or prosecuted for such a has access we are building we're all people in san francisco, california have the freedom to make powerful decisions including the decision to have an adoption

without shame or stigma and regardless of race and risen and we're hopefully this initiative will help us get closures to the reality and with that, i'm grateful to i'm going to turn it over to our partner kimberly from the status of women. >> (clapping) well a big thank you to everyone that came out today good afternoon. i'm kimberly the director for the status of women i close don't worry this will be short. the reproductive rights act about san francisco. leveraging it's strength and assets to codify repulsive freedom and justice into the rule of the law the high stakes
