Senator Connie Leyva will discuss the ongoing efforts here in California to correct these injustices that have historically undermined the rights, safety and economic wellbeing of women. This conversation will also focus on potential areas for future reform, as well as the vital need for continued engagement by informed residents from every walk of life.
“This is an excellent opportunity to engage with the Honorable Connie M. Leyva who has a proven track record of helping women and families.
