History of Citizens for Choice
Nevada County Citizens for Choice, Inc. was founded in 1989 as a coalition of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), Business and Professional Women (BPW), and the League of Women Voters (LWV). Our initial purpose was to support reproductive freedom for women, including family planning and choice as an absolute right for all. In 1992, in order to educate the public about political candidates' views on choice, we became an independent organization. We were incorporated as a California 501 (c)(3) non-profit educational corporation in 2001. All Contributions to our organization are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Affiliations
Citizens for Choice is affiliated with Planned Parenthood; the California Abortion Rights Action League (CARAL); and ACCESS (a coalition for the medical rights of women); and supports the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy; and collaborates with other pro-choice organizations.

The Clinic!
Although the County's Teen Clinic is closing in July, our clinic on Richardson St. in GV is open!

Mondays 10:30 to 5 and
Wednesdays 1 to 6.
No appointment necessary!

Don't be confused by a fake clinic, or "crisis pregnancy centers." They are anti-choice organizations -- and one of them (LivingWell) is located in Grass Valley.

Some CPCs may be still receiving federal funding - tell Congress to stop federal funding of these fake clinics!

The pro-choice sexual healthcare clinic run by Citizens for Choice and staffed by the Women's Health Specialists is pictured below.
