We will also discuss her inspiring path to becoming the first woman and the first openly LGBTQ person to lead the California Senate, and the first person in 150 years to lead both houses of the California Legislature. 

The event will also feature Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur, Chief External Affairs Officer for PPLA Celinda Vazquez, and Executive Director of CRHLP Melissa Goodman.  

Following the discussion, students will have the opportunity to network with the speakers, as well as staff from the Center on Reproductive Health, Law, and Policy and our partners at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles. All students are encouraged to join to learn more about pursuing a career in public service, particularly one dedicated to advancing reproductive and gender justice.

More about CA Senate President pro Tempore Emeritus Toni G. Atkins' historic career: 

Following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Senator Atkins has played an integral role in expanding access to reproductive health in California, including sponsoring SB 487 to strengthen protections for California health care providers who provide abortion care services and gender-affirming care services. SB 487 follows more than a decade of work by Pro Tem Atkins to widen access to reproductive health care in California. As a director of clinical services for a women’s reproductive health clinic in the 1990s, she learned firsthand how essential access to safe healthcare is for women and people of all ages, and has been a fierce champion of protecting and expanding access to reproductive rights and services for decades.
