The Restore Democracy team  meets from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM on the first and third Monday of each month, in-person and via Zoom.

The team's mission is to oppose autocracy and help achieve a U.S. democracy that prioritizes the interests of ordinary citizens and promotes a more effective, resilient, and participatory government.

On February 24, 2026, the Women's Rights Issue Team was launched to carry forward the legacy of the Indivisible Santa Cruz County Planned Parenthood group, while expanding our focus to meet today's challenges. We are committed to protecting, advancing, and restoring the rights of women and girls through education, advocacy, civic engagement, and community action.

The Planned Parenthood group, founded in 2017, organized fundraising efforts by selling RBG votive candles, hosted postcard-writing parties, tabled at community events, marched for reproductive freedom and equal justice, supported Planned Parenthood, and tirelessly advocated for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Their work helped sustain local activism through some of the most challenging years for women's rights.

The Women's Rights Issue Team’s first priority is electing women to public office and supporting candidates—regardless of gender—who are committed to defending women's rights, reproductive freedom, gender equity, and equal protection under the law. We believe lasting progress requires leaders who will champion policies that ensure equality and opportunity for everyone.

Women's Rights Issue Team’s first official action was to create and distribute an educational flyer explaining how the proposed SAVE Act could disproportionately affect women voters by creating new barriers to voter registration for those whose current legal names do not match their birth certificates.

We also provided practical guidance on steps women could take to protect their voting rights should the legislation become law. Although the bill had not become law as of July 2026, we believed it was important to educate voters before potential changes could take effect. Hundreds of these flyers were distributed during the March 28, 2026, No Kings March, where volunteers engaged participants in conversations about voting rights and civic participation.

The team is continuing to distribute the SAVE Act flyers at ISCC events as long as this act has a possibility of passing Congress.

Looking ahead, the Women's Rights Issue Team is committed to taking action on a broad range of issues affecting women and their families. Our priorities include:

· Protecting and restoring women's rights by opposing legislation and policies that limit bodily autonomy, economic opportunity, voting access, workplace equality, or legal protections.

· Advancing the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and supporting constitutional equality regardless of sex.

· Defending LGBTQ+ rights, recognizing that the fight for equality is interconnected and that attacks on one community threaten the rights of all.

· Addressing misogyny and gender-based discrimination by promoting education, challenging harmful rhetoric and stereotypes, and supporting policies that foster respect, safety, and equal opportunity.

· Educating and mobilizing our community through public forums, informational materials, advocacy campaigns, and volunteer opportunities that empower people to take meaningful action.

The ISCC Women's Rights Issue Team welcomes everyone who believes that equality, dignity, and justice should be guaranteed for all. Together, we honor the work of those who came before us while building a stronger movement for future generations.
