Indivisibles,

Last week in Ohio, the forces of reproductive freedom saw a big win.

Republicans tried to sneak an under-the-radar special election past
Ohioans. They had a clear goal: to undermine the ballot initiative process
and make it harder for Ohio voters to pass a reproductive rights
referendum this fall.

It blew up in their faces. Their initiative failed dramatically, 57%-43%.

And there’s a lesson here for all of us. From Ohio’s victory to
Wisconsin’s Supreme Court blowout this spring, what we’ve seen is that
when you tell voters that abortion rights are on the ballot, they turn
out.

Our next big fight? Arizona.

With two flippable House seats, a crucial opportunity to replace Kyrsten
Sinema with a real Democrat, and must-win Electoral College votes, the
path to national victory runs straight through Arizona -- and having an
abortion rights amendment on the ballot could help drive turnout up and
down the ticket.

We’re supporting the Arizona Abortion Access coalition, which launched
last week, to put an amendment enshrining a constitutional right to
abortion on the ballot in 2024.

Last week, Politico [ [link removed] ]got a hold of new polling that we did with Data for
Progress on abortion in Arizona. Here’s what we found ([ [link removed] ]and here’s the
full strategy memo, if you want to dive in):

* 60% of AZ voters consider themselves pro-choice. 
* 58% think the Supreme Court was wrong to overturn Roe. 
* The presence of a reproductive rights constitutional amendment on the
ballot makes Democrats more likely to vote and Republicans less likely
to vote -- with a cumulative 9% increase in vote likelihood in
Democrats’ favor

These are huge numbers for a state that Joe Biden won by 0.3% -- they
could easily make the difference between victory or loss in 2024. And that
makes us even more determined to ensure that next year, Arizona voters
have this crucial amendment on their ballot. 

Now, there’s a high threshold to get a constitutional amendment on the
ballot in Arizona: You have to collect hundreds of thousands of
signatures. It’s time-intensive, resource-intensive work. But I traveled
across Arizona to get out the vote for the 2022 election, and I cannot
emphasize enough: Indivisible groups are FIRED UP and ready to go. They’re
ready to gather signatures, knock doors, and do the work to secure
reproductive freedom for every Arizonan -- and turn out voters to deliver
a Democratic House, Senate, and President in 2024. And we want to support
them however we can to do it.

[ [link removed] ]So here’s my ask for you: Can you pitch in to help?

We’ve started an Arizona PAC to support this work, and we need to raise
$70,000 into it by September 1 in order to hire a campaigner who will
focus specifically on working with Arizona’s Indivisible groups to collect
signatures to get this amendment on the ballot. This is time-intensive
work and we need to get started ASAP. Your contribution will help us
ensure that Indivisible groups have the resources and support they need. 

This is a real deadline -- the funds we get by the end of this month will
determine how big we can go. [ [link removed] ]So if you agree with this plan, and you
want to fight for abortion rights and our democracy, please give now.
