CalOpen.org Launches As Rallying Point
for a Growing Adoptee Rights
Ballot Measure Movement

Sacramento, CA (May 19, 2004) - CalOpen.org, the website at the center of a growing statewide grassroots movement calling for a ballot measure to secure adult adoptee access rights to their own state held birth record, has been launched as the rallying point for California voters who believe privacy and identity should be an exercised right by all citizens.

Located at www.CalOpen.org , the website features information on how to get involved, legislation tracking, a message board, and will soon bring news and educational materials. Most importantly, the site encourages those impacted by sealed birth records to sign up as members and to immediately get involved by joining one of the organization’s working regions.

"We’re calling on all who have been impacted by the 1935 sealing of records to join the statewide grassroots movement at CalOpen.org," said Jean Uhrich, one of the organizers of the equal rights movement. The new website will act as a rallying point to help organize those who seek to involve and reform a flawed and antiquated law that threatens best adoption practice for thousands of families and endangers California's privacy and equal rights protections. Everyone’s voice matters in whether our efforts succeed.
