On April 22, people took a stand for women's rights at Capitol Day, a day designed for helping teenage girls to express their perspective on women's health.  Capitol Day is run by a non–profit  international organization where women take action to protect their rights of reproductive system.
     The 2009 Capitol Day Theme was "Yes We Plan! Taking Action for a Healthy California."
     The day kicked off with a morning rally and education fair. The fair included booths on topics such as cancer prevention, parent–child communication, and just quizzes about methods of birth control, safe sex, healthy relationships, and preventing abusive relationships. 
     Over 550 Planned Parenthood employees and teenage mothers from areas throughout California traveled to Sacramento to make a difference by discussing the importance of reproductive health care.  In a meeting with legislators, they were able to share their opinions on health care issues in order to advocate for women's health care rights.
     During the meetings, groups of girls went at a different times to talk to at least one legislator. It was a memorable moment for when men and women stood up to share his or her thoughts and opinions. For example, many teenage girls discussed how Planned Parenthood was beneficial to them because they rely on the free services the clinic offer.
     At the end of the day, teenage mothers and Planned Parenthood employees felt relieved and proud of themselves for speaking out for what they believed in.
     “It was amazing, informative, and motivating! I am definitely returning next year,” stated a 17 year old mother of two.
