Planned Parenthood Action Fund of the Pacific Southwest and community partners are asking the Riverside County Board of Education to protect LGBTQ+ students against attacks on their rights by local school boards. Schools should be safe spaces for all students, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Join the efforts!

How to Get Involved:

Attend the next Riverside County Board of Education meeting on Wednesday, October 4th and make a public comment. Help us ensure the Board of Education knows we stand with LGBTQ+ students and want safe school environments for all. When attending and commenting, be sure to clearly state “I live in Riverside County” or “I'm a resident of ______” to raise your comment above others who are not a part of our community. We've seen almost all of these meetings across the country be taken over by protesters who do not live in the communities the meeting is intended for. Make sure that the board hears from it's own community.

Meeting Date and Time: October 4th at 5:00pm

Location: RCOE Board Room, 3939 Thirteenth Street, Riverside, CA 92501

You can find sample public comments on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund page.
