If left untreated, STIs can cause long-term life-threatening consequences like increased risk of HIV, infertility, cancer and blindness. We need to make sure ALL teens have access to condoms so they can protect their health! @GavinNewsom, we urge you to sign #SB954 into law!

California spends approximately $1 billion annually on health costs associated with STIs. Implementing free condoms in high schools is a cost-effective strategy to help curb the state’s public health crisis. We urge @GavinNewsom to sign #SB954 into law! #YHES4Condoms

“SB 954 is a vital boost for our health. It’s about staying safe, making informed choices, and destigmatizing our sexual health. With STIs rising, especially among LGBTQIA youth and communities of color, this bill is key to a healthier future for California youth." @GavinNewsom
