A few years ago, I attended Reproductive Freedom Day with a friend. It was a wonderful day full of knowledgeable, inspirational speakers speaking on current reproductive issues. It provided many opportunities to meet activists from around the state. But the culmination of the day was the most challenging and worthwhile - actually lobbying members of the California legislature on women's reproductive issues.

This year the event takes place on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at the Sacramento Convention Center. Register before February 14th for the early bird rate of $40. Now, that's a deal!

If you worry, as I do, that women are losing the rights they so desperately fought for and need, please make this event a priority.
