Thank you to everyone who came to the Inaugural SICI Bee the Change Retreat. It was an amazing day and none of our work could happen without you. Up Next? We have a whole lot of incredible ways to expand our reach, culminating in our biggest fundraiser yet: Think Pink Barbie Bingo. Read on for all the happenings in a jam packed SICI August Newsletter!
Looking for a creative way to honor the women in your life?

Click here to make your tribute!
On July 2, the California Assembly Public Safety Committee voted to pass Senate Bill 1414, which makes it a felony to engage in buying a child for sex. HOWEVER, the bill fell short of all of our goals as it did not restore the previous iteration that would have prevented the penalty from being reduced to a misdemeanor and freed 16- and 17-year olds from having to prove that they were victims of human trafficking.
As the bill now moves to the Appropriations Committee, we need your help. Contact Governor Newsom NOW and encourage him to restore SB 1414 to its original form (call 916-445-2841)!
We are volunteering at James Storehouse’s Back to School Bash on Saturday, August 3!
