We’ve seen & heard the disqualifying statements & positions from some candidates related to woman’s rights – especially reproductive rights.
Here’s @GavinNewsom’s record in support of reproductive freedoms – and why it matters. 2/
Across the nation, reproductive rights are under attack.
This year alone, 500+ state bills sought to advance abortion restrictions. If a conservative Supreme Court were to overturn #RoeVWade, 24 states would likely prohibit & criminalize abortions outright. 3/
So, @GavinNewsom’s leadership is needed now more than ever before.
On a commitment of strategic funding… He doubled California’s investment in sexual & reproductive health care. 4/
On support for key legislation… He signed bills expanding access to critical reproductive health care services to give more access for students at public universities & reduce the high rates of Black maternal mortality. 5/
On using the megaphone of his office… He issued a Proclamation on Reproductive Freedom affirming California’s commitment to protect reproductive rights & access to reproductive health care. 6/
On recruiting others to the cause… He signed a joint letter with the Governors of Oregon & Washington calling on other states to enact protections of reproductive rights. 7/
Time and time again, @GavinNewsom has stood with @PPActionCA and stood up for a person’s right to make decisions about their own body. Now, it’s time we all do our part to #PinkOutTheVote. 8/
But, a few words about how California Republicans are fueling Trump’s Big Lie 2.0 in the Golden State.
A thread 🧵…
California Democrats are fired up & ready to vote NO on the #RepublicanRecall.
We’ll take nothing for granted.
We’ll connect with voters until 8:00pm on Tuesday evening to ensure every voter has the opportunity to make their voice heard at the ballot box. 2/11
But, @CAGOP & their leading candidate, @LarryElder, seem to be smelling a possible defeat.
Instead of making their case to voters – a thin case at best & dangerous case at worst – they are questioning the integrity of the election system. 3/11
@GavinNewsom There’s lots of talk about the candidates on Question 2 of the recall ballot. And rightfully so. They are unfit for the office. They are unprepared to do the job. They are out of step with California’s values. 2/
Yet, far too little attention is given to @GavinNewsom's strong record of accomplishment – especially in leading our State through an unprecedented global pandemic. 3/
