Living Donation California

02/14/2022

National Donor Day is an observance dedicated to spreading awareness and education about organ, eye, and tissue donation. By educating and sharing the importance of donation, we can each take small steps every day to help save and heal more lives, and honor the donor’s legacy of generosity and compassion. One donor has the potential to donate up to 8 organs and save 8 lives, and help heal more than 75 individuals through tissue donation! Thank you to all who have donate and to those who one day will donate!

We at Donate Life California are excited to share the news that as of September 22nd, 2021, our bill AB 1374 was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom! Sponsored by Assemblymember Kevin Mullin (D-22), AB 1374 is a critical step in the effort to increase the number of registered organ donors in California. The new law creates a pathway to amend the language of the DMV donor registration, in the hopes of encouraging more Californians to say “yes” to organ, eye and tissue donation. Feel free to read more about the bill and its impact in our press release, And if you haven't already, please follow the link to sign up to be an organ and tissue donor today and help to save a life: https://bit.ly/2Gh1djg ❤️
