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.
