California voters: In comments, The Girl Detective mentions that there are many volunteer opportunities with Planned Parenthood against Prop 4, and opportunities to phone bank against Prop 8.
Also! Everyone in CA should volunteer to phone bank against prop 4 (Planned Parenthood has volunteer opportunities) and prop 8 (see noonprop8.com).
Read about two women who are Planned Parenthood activists who are improving women’s lives in Ventura County. Both adamantly oppose Prop 4. Adina Nack, author and associate professor at California Lutheran University, was honored for her activism at Planned Parenthood SBVSLO’s 9th Annual Ventura County Celebration.
