Make the Call: Justice for Disable Spouses

We need your help to close the last spousal rape loophole—everyone must raise their voices in favor of the bill. Please take a moment to call the Chair of the California Senate Public Safety Committee and demand a YES vote on SB 258.

Call:

CA Senator Jesse Arreguín (D-Dist 07), Public Safety Committee Chair

  • Capitol Phone (Sacramento): (916) 651-4007

  • District Phone (Oakland): (510) 286-1333

Call Script:

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

I'm calling to urge Senator Arreguín and the California Senate Public Safety Committee to vote YES on SB 258. It is shameful that in 2025 California still has a spousal rape exception. It is even more unconscionable that the law specifically targets disabled spouses and denies them the same protections from rape that all other Californians receive. Disabled people deserve justice.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
