Take Action

What to do now:

Thank Lorena for their fight!

This legislator has been a consistent force in the fight to protect and expand abortion rights.

What to say:

Send them an email thanking them for their efforts, and remind them how important abortion rights are to you. It's rare that legislators get thanked for their efforts - show them you're paying attention and appreciate the work!

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Thank them for their efforts, and encourage them to continue the fight.
  • Bonus: Consider donating your time or money to their campaigns, or supporting them on social media.

And while you're at it…

Vote yes on Proposition 139!

Arizonans deserve the freedom to make our own healthcare decisions. The Arizona Abortion Access Act is a proposed Constitutional amendment that would establish a fundamental right to abortion. It’s based on the very-Arizona idea that people have a right to individual autonomy, including in our healthcare decisions, without unnecessary government interference.

“we must expand access to reproductive healthcare and protect access to abortion. As of this last month, nearly all abortions became illegal in Arizona. This pre-statehood law is a direct divergence from the will of the people as an overwhelming amount of Arizonans support protecting abortion access.”

“Gov @DougDucey just signed a bill that bans abortion access after 15 weeks w/ no exceptions for rape or incest. Legislatures continue to ride hard on party lines, choosing to ignore that we ALL access reproductive care. We're done w/ the holier-than-thou act. #FightForReproRights”
