“No one knows more about reproductive rights in the U.S. than Carole Joffe,” said Daily Beast contributor Michelle Goldberg. Accomplished author and Professor at the UCSB Bixby Center for Reproductive Health, Dr. Carole Joffe’s research focuses on the social dimensions of reproductive health, with a particular interest in abortion access. Her most recent book, Dispatches from the Abortion Wars, immerses readers in the front lines of abortion provision in the U.S., revealing the persistent cultural, political, and economic hurdles to abortion services. Professor Joffe is also a frequent contributor to RH Reality Check, and her most recent posts can be found here:http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/blog/966.

Best,
Brianna

MISSION

As Santa Barbara Democrats, we believe in a society and community based on solidarity and sustainability. We believe, quite simply that our country does better when everyone does better, and that we need to live in harmony with our environment. Our aim is to empower, educate and organize citizens and residents of Santa Barbara County. First and foremost, this means mobilizing voters to get to the polls and elect Democrats at all levels of government. We also hold elected officials accountable to the values and principles of our Democratic party, through public advocacy, coalition work, as well as through our endorsement process, which asks candidates seeking our support to pledge to put our shared values into practice.
