LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will consider a resolution on Tuesday, October 20, introduced by Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, “Establishing a National Vision for Reproductive Freedom, Family, and the American Promise.”
The resolution would affirm the County’s commitment to reproductive health, rights, and justice while advancing a broader vision for the policies and conditions that allow people and families to thrive. The resolution is being advanced in partnership with Black Women for Wellness Action Project and All* Above All as part of a national effort to define reproductive freedom not simply by the rights at risk, but by what people and families need to build healthy, secure futures.
Rooted in the principles of reproductive justice, the resolution recognizes the right to have a child, the right not to have a child, and the right to raise children and families in safe, healthy, and sustainable communities.
The resolution is part of All* Above All’s For All Our Futures campaign, a broader effort to define reproductive freedom not simply by the rights at risk, but by the policies and conditions people and families need to thrive. Building on the introduction of a congressional resolution establishing a national vision for reproductive freedom, family, and the American promise, the campaign is working with partners and policymakers to bring that vision to life at the federal, state, and local levels, including in Los Angeles County.
With more than 9 million residents, Los Angeles County has an important role in shaping policies and systems that affect the health and well-being of families across the region. The proposed resolution would affirm the County’s commitment to policies that make reproductive health care accessible and ensure every person has the freedom, resources, and support to make decisions about their bodies, families, and futures.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell shared:
“I am proud to put forward this resolution in partnership with All* Above All and Black Women for Wellness Action Project. This is not only about reaffirming Los Angeles County’s commitment to protecting the fundamental right to reproductive health care; it’s also about advancing the policies and services families need to be healthy, supported, and thriving on their own terms. The National Vision for Reproductive Freedom, Family, and the American Promise provides a blueprint for achieving that vision while building on the legacy of Black women organizers who pioneered the reproductive justice movement. Together, we will continue fighting for a future where everyone has the bodily autonomy, health care, and support they deserve.”
Nourbese Flint, President of All* Above All:
“For too long, the conversation about reproductive freedom has been defined by what we’re fighting against. This resolution is about defining what we’re fighting for: a future where everyone has the freedom, resources, and support to make decisions about their bodies, families, and futures with dignity. Los Angeles County is helping turn that vision into action. We’re proud to stand alongside Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell and Black Women for Wellness Action Project to show what’s possible when we build policies rooted in the lives, needs, and futures of our communities.”
Janette Robinson-Flint, Executive Director of Black Women for Wellness Action Project:
“Introducing this resolution now is an important step toward advancing reproductive justice and setting an example for communities around the world. Los Angeles County has an opportunity to set a global example by investing in the lives of women and girls. With an all-women Board of Supervisors, the County can show what’s possible when women’s voices are represented in leadership and their needs are supported through funding, programs, and resources.”
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider the resolution at its October 20 meeting. The meeting agenda, including the resolution’s agenda item number, is available here.
