Episode 30 - Action Alert! #VoteNoInAugust and Protect Reproductive Rights in Ohio
Listen now
Description
On Nov. 7th, Ohioans will have the chance to vote on a constitutional amendment to protect reproductive rights. This amendment is polling very well, with about 59% of the public in support. Upset by this, Republican legislators have added an election on August 8th to vote on Issue 1, which would change the threshold to amend the state constitution by referendum from 50% + 1 vote to 60% — virtually guaranteeing that the Nov. reproductive rights measure will fail. We need to stop Issue 1 by boosting turnout for the August 8th election (which is a historically low turnout time, which is why they picked it). In this episode, I talk about how. #VoteNoInAugust To find your polling place: VoteOhio.gov To volunteer to help spread the word, visit PostcardsToVoters.org To read more about what's at stake, check out this Indivisible piece To support abortion funds in Ohio, visit the Abortion Fund of Ohio --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/natasha-t-baker/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/natasha-t-baker/support
