Make California a Privacy Safe Haven!

The petition to members of the California State Legislature reads:

Expand privacy protections for women and gender-expansive people in California! Pass these three bills to strengthen privacy for vulnerable Californians:

A.B. 1337

A.B. 82

S.B. 497

Passing these bills would revolutionize how the government and corporations can handle and access our data, would help make California a privacy safe haven state.

More than ever, California residents face imminent danger of being targeted, persecuted, and prosecuted for seeking reproductive health care, practicing a certain religion, having undocumented status, being of a particular race, having a particular sexual orientation, or simply exercising their First Amendment rights.

In response, California legislators are considering a package of three privacy bills that would revolutionize how the government and corporations are required to handle our data, and if/how the federal government can access state-level data. We need to make sure that all three of these bills pass especially as the Big Tech lobby is fighting hard against them. Those three bills are:

A.B.1337, IPA Reform Act of 2025, which would put legal penalties in place for misuse of data and prohibit the transfer of data to government entities without user permission.
A.B.82, TGI Health Care Data Privacy, which would stop medical facilities from reporting testosterone or mifepristone (the abortion pill) prescriptions to central databases and put more protections in place for health care providers.
S.B.497, TGI Health Care Protections, which would establish criminal penalties for revealing sensitive health data without a warrant and prevent out-of-state law officers from prosecuting people receiving care in California.

The stakes for passing these bills could not be higher. We already know that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is teaming up with data collection companies to scrape information from across the internet and track the location of immigrants. And anti-abortion groups have purchased location data to identify people who have accessed reproductive health care. California has the unique opportunity to stop this abuse in its tracks.

California has already led the nation in online privacy protections, having passed a landmark, comprehensive privacy law and establishing our nation's first state privacy agency in response to the enormous amount of new information that companies can now collect about individuals. Now, the legislature needs to pass legislation that strengthens those protections to keep our most vulnerable safe.
