As Trump attacks women’s reproductive choices, I signed new bills strengthening California’s nation-leading protections on reproductive rights and maternal health. We’re expanding access to care for students and vets, bolstering perinatal and postpartum care, and allowing health professionals to serve more people.

Yesterday, we kicked off #CGI2026 with urgent calls to action, bold partnerships, and real solutions. ⚠️ President @BillClinton called on leaders to reject zero-sum thinking and work together to meet this moment. 🌎 Secretary @HillaryClinton joined global health leaders to discuss a breakthrough twice-yearly HIV prevention drug — and what it will take to expand access worldwide. 🧪 MISTR committed to provide 1 million free HIV tests + 1 million free Hepatitis C tests. 🩺 @ChelseaClinton, @Lupita_Nyongo, Chrissy Teigen and more put a spotlight on the urgent need to close gaps in women’s health research. 🏅 President Clinton surprised three extraordinary organizations with the Clinton Global Citizen Award. 🤝 New Commitments to Action will expand opportunity for girls, strengthen climate resilience, support communities in Sudan, accelerate health breakthroughs, and more. 💡 And one message carried throughout the day: progress starts when we refuse to accept that our biggest challenges are inevitable. Tune in today for more: clintonglobal.org/2026
