Take Action

What to do now:

Thank Rita for her 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 Amendment 4

Amendment 4 will limit government interference with abortion in Florida. It blocks the implementation of laws that prohibit, delay, or restrict abortion access. If passed, Amendment 4 will nullify the current Florida abortion ban and provide a constitutional right to abortion before viability.

“As of today, Floridians are living under a near-abortion ban. Most people won't know they are pregnant as six weeks, and even if they do, seeing two doctors in that time frame is almost impossible. Blocking access to healthcare is cruel and inhumane. Vote #Yeson4”
