Hello! As a huge update, CalMatters has reported on the emails sent by city staff and officials. We've shared this with our membership base, and believe it would be very relevant for your membership as well. This article not only covers the behind-closed-doors machinations within Beverly Hills, but also looks to the larger picture of clinic closures in Fontana and the Central Valley and the echoing silence from electeds such as Rep. Ted Lieu, Senator Ben Allen, Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur, and Governor Gavin Newsom.
We are proud to share this story from Alexei Koseff at CalMatters, highlighting our ongoing fight for transparency from the city of Beverly Hills. The article, with highlight excerpts of emails from former Mayor Julian Gold and Councilmember Sharona Nazarian, places city management and staff in the timeline of events as they courted favor with antiabortion extremists. Susan Rinkunas at Jezebel also picked up the story and highlighted additional emails revealing the behind-the-scenes discussions regarding DuPont.
We encourage you to read the article and share it widely. We will be sharing plans for further actions in the coming weeks but for now - make sure everyone you know hears about all the steps the city took to appease these extremists. If you’d like to stay up to date for our upcoming actions, please email bhforchoice at gmail.com
As always - thank you for your time, commitment, and support.
Sincerely,
bhforchoice
