The right to an abortion is on the ballot in Ohio right now

Danielle,

This coming Tuesday, we've got a big opportunity to advance reproductive freedom.

Ohioans are voting on a ballot measure that would enshrine the right to an abortion in their state constitution. Early voting is already happening, and it's crunch time before Election Day, so I'll get right to it:

Can you make a donation to Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights as they work to get out the vote? Every donation makes a difference in these powerfully important final days.

Time and time again, we've seen that when abortion rights are on the ballot, abortion rights win. We saw it in Kansas last year. We saw it in Michigan last year. And we can see it in Ohio this year — but these victories are only possible when we give these fights everything we've got, up until the very last second, to reach every possible voter.

This is the work that we are called to do. Now that right-wing extremists on the Supreme Court have ripped away the federal right to an abortion, we have to protect our freedoms one state at a time — sometimes through legislation, and sometimes through referendums like the one on the ballot in Ohio.

I'm still furious that a handful of out-of-touch radicals have put us in this position and put women's lives at risk. And I'm still determined to fight back.

If you are too, and if you can make a financial contribution at this time, please pitch in to support Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights and help get out the vote ahead of Tuesday's election.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

P.S. Tell everyone you know in Ohio to vote yes on Issue 1. Person to person, we can win this.
