For the past three years, Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez has killed our bill, the Compensation for Survivors of Forced or Involuntary Sterilization Act (AB 1007), in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Black, Indigenous, Latinx, incarcerated people, people with disabilities, and poor people have been targeted for forced sterilizations by the state. We can no longer wait for justice!

TELL ASSEMBLYMEMBER GONZALEZ THAT STERILIZATION SURVIVORS NEED REPARATIONS NOW!

ABOUT AB 1007:

The Forced Sterilization Compensation Program would provide reparations to survivors who were forcibly sterilized in state institutions under California's eugenics law from 1909-1979 or who were subjected to coerced or involuntary sterilizations in women's state prisons after 1979. Additionally, an outreach and sterilization notification program will be established, and markers or plaques will be placed at designated sites, raising awareness of the unjust sterilization of thousands of people.
