Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Jerry how important it is that we codify the right to an abortion:

This legislator seems to believe that abortion rights are fine as-is, even after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

What to say:

Call your legislator and push them to vote to protect abortion rights. They may be open to switching positions if they hear enough from their constituents.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why it is important to you that the right to abortion be protected. Personal stories can help.
  • Ask if they will commit to voting for any legislation that will protect the right to an abortion.
  • If they say no, ask if they will commit to voting against any legislation that will further limit access to abortion.
