Thank you, Department of the Status on Women , Planned Parenthood NorCal , Mayor Lurie , and the Board of Supervisors, especially Supervisor Melgar , for continuing to fight to protect abortion access and family planning resources for all San Franciscans and generations to come.

Step Into the Light is an opportunity for youth to share their creative talents as a way to call out injustices by shining a light on them and making a difference in our local communities. The Grand Prize is an Apple Airpod Max Wireless Headphone Set, and the Best of Show Winners for each category win $300! It’s also a great winter break project, can be therapeutic, and being recognized for youth artistic expression looks great on college and skilled trades’ school applications.
