From our partners at NCJW:

The stakes are high. We need your help to get voters to the polls. 

Here’s what to know – and what you can do next.

1. This November, abortion is on the ballot. Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota all currently have abortion bans. A “yes” vote on their respective state ballot initiatives would expand access to abortion and reproductive health care and give pregnant people in their state the ability to access necessary and vital health care without crossing state lines. Voters in Colorado, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, and New York have the opportunity to strengthen their existing abortion laws.

Across the country many NCJW local sections mobilized to collect thousands of signatures to get these initiatives on the ballot and are now leading and working closely in coalition to engage voters ahead of the election. 

2. Galvanize voters by phone banking with NCJW:  Together with our local NCJW sections, we are inviting NCJW advocates across the country to call voters directly in New York, Colorado, Florida, and Missouri and tell them to vote YES on their abortion ballot initiatives. Join us!
