JUST IN: Oakland becomes first city in California to declare itself “sanctuary city” for women seeking abortions.
On Tuesday morning and again in the evening, abortion rights supporters rallied in front of Oakland City Hall“The passage of this resolution makes Oakland the first City in California to declare itself a Sanctuary City for Abortion Access and is the first step we will be taking to expand abortion access to anyone who needs it.
Healthcare is a human right, and the City of Oakland stands firmly behind anyone exercising their right to reproductive care," said Sheng Thao, Council President Pro Tempore."This resolution says to women across the country, who are under attack, that your rights will be protected here. Your autonomy, your agency, your access will be protected here. And those who would threaten or harass you will not be tolerated or enabled here in Oakland”.
