Abortion and constitutional sex equality are literally on the ballot this year. In at least five states, voters will directly vote on enshrining abortion protections in their state constitutions. One of these states, New York, will vote on the adoption of a state-level Equal Rights Amendment. Abortion and the ERA are also on the ballot in the sense that we must elect gender justice champions on ALL levels of government to defend & expand our reproductive freedoms.
That's why young people have to be ready to organize our communities to vote FOR gender justice champions and vote YES on sex equality protections in our state constitutions. This training will teach you just how to do that. In this training, we will cover:
The ballot initiatives being voted on in November & our movement-wide strategy to win abortion protections in red states while turning out the vote to elect state & federal leaders who will fight for abortion justice.
Organizing voter contact events such as phone banks, canvasses, text banks, and community events to reach voters, whether you live in a state voting on abortion or are supporting out-of-state.
Utilizing relational organizing, the proven most effective form of voter outreach, to educate your family, friends, & network on how to vote for reproductive justice measures & candidates, & how to help others do the same.
How to leverage the power of art, social media, & other communications avenues to build support for ballot initiatives & reproductive justice champions in your community.
