Please join Honorary Co-Chairs Mayor Willie Brown and First Lady of San Francisco Jennifer Siebel Newsom for our annual Performers for Choice event! Event co-chairs Kelli Hill and Kelly Gaynor will be looking forward to seeing you at the Galleria at San Francisco Design Center where we will be honoring our Champion of Choice Senator Barbara Boxer. As a senator, Boxer has been unwavering in her support for a woman's right to choose and is a proven leader when it comes to advancing reproductive rights and freedom. She has led the way in countless fights to protect reproductive rights: repealing the global gag rule, fighting late-term abortion bans, and authoring "Duty to Dispense" legislation to require that pharmacies fulfill contraception prescriptions. In her efforts to defend reproductive health for women in California and around the world, Senator Barbara Boxer is the very definition of a champion of choice. This years featured performers include:
