RSVP for our Abortion is a Human Rights Rally on Saturday, Oct. 8th at 10am here. 
Comrades!
We are facing virulent attacks on our rights. Nationally, we are in crisis. Nearly half of states have already or are planning to implement bans on abortion and limits to reproductive healthcare. Despite California’s progressive abortion laws, we still suffer from large deserts of abortion and reproductive care outside of our major cities.

It is the reversal of Roe by the radical Supreme Court that has galvanized women and others to organize a major fightback to the incremental attacks on our democratic rights.-

Women’s March, organizer of millions after the Trump election, called for a weekend of actions October 7-9.  Then A Day Without Us was organized by Black-led organizations for Sept 30. And October 6th, Student Walkouts all across the country are being organized, in major part by our very own YDSAers!-

In addition to forming our EBDSA Committee to Defend Abortion, EBDSA comrades have been organizing with Peralta Federation of Teachers, OEA, Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte, rank-and-file unionists and community activists to organize against the radical Supreme Court. We began by hosting a Labor Day picnic and teach-in at Lake Merritt that was attended by over fifty activists. >From there, we answered the Woman’s March call for a Weekend of Action by organizing an Abortion is a Human Right Rally this Saturday, October 8th from 10am-12pm at Frank Ogawa Plaza. –

We know a rally won’t overturn decades of right wing organizing, but coming together is always the first step. Join us this Saturday to begin rebuilding a bottom-up movement for democracy and freedom!

The Oscar Grant Committee Against Police Brutality and State Repression voted unanimously to support Proposition One on the November 8th ballot. It would add this to the State Constitution, clarifying human rights to abortion and contraception:

The state shall not deny or interfere with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions, which includes their fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives. This section is intended to further the constitutional right to privacy guaranteed by Section 1, and the constitutional right to not be denied equal protection guaranteed by Section 7. Nothing herein narrows or limits the right to privacy or equal protection.
