California responds to the threat from Texas of a national abortion ban.

WoLF submitted the following testimony to the California Assembly this week in support of California AB 379, The Survivor Support And Demand Reduction Act. This bill implements key aspects of the Survivor Model (also known as Equality Model/Nordic Model).

WoLF has taken the next steps in our groundbreaking legal battle to get men out of California women’s prisons. The case, Chandler v. Macomber (formerly Chander v. CDCR), centers on six women incarcerated in California who have all faced harm by being forced to live, work, and share private, intimate spaces with men who claim to be women.
