Indivisibles,
We've got an exciting update out of Arizona! In the coming days,
Indivisibles will officially start gathering signatures to help put
abortion rights on the ballot in 2024.
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe, MAGA Republicans jumped at the
chance to outlaw abortions in Arizona. They started with a 15 week ban,
but now they want to go even further, reviving an 1864 law that would ban
almost all abortions in the state. We're fighting back and supporting the
Arizona Abortion Access coalition's efforts to put an amendment on the
ballot in 2024 that would enshrine abortion rights in the state
constitution.
From Ohio to Wisconsin, we’ve seen that when abortion rights are on the
ballot, people turn out. And in 2024, there’s nowhere turnout will be more
important than in Arizona -- a state with two flippable House seats, a
state legislature up for grabs, a vital Senate race, and must-win
Electoral College votes.
Ultimately, this is an effort that could not only help us restore abortion
rights in Arizona, but drive turnout so we can elect a Democratic trifecta
capable of restoring abortion rights nationally.
The first step in the process is qualifying for the ballot and that means
collecting over half a million signatures before July 2024. That's going
to take a massive, coordinated, statewide effort and we have a unique role
to play here. No one has a bigger grassroots presence in Arizona than
Indivisible, and our volunteers make up the bulk of the coalition’s
signature gathering team.
[ [link removed] ]These volunteers are doing this work to benefit us all. Can you help
support them by chipping in to fund the effort?
Already, more than 1000 people have signed our pledge to help gather
signatures and dozens of Indivisible groups across the state are taking
part in the effort. This includes expert volunteers who have years of
experience collecting signatures for multiple ballot initiatives. But
there are also folks who have never worked on a signature gathering
campaign including some of the 150 volunteers who completed our training
this week!
Indivisibles in Arizona are raring to go, but in order for this campaign
to succeed, we have to make sure our volunteers have the resources they
need. That includes some of the basics like clipboards, pens, signs, and
reimbursements for a whole host of resources that keep grassroots
organizers motivated. If you’re ready to help us put abortion on the ballot in
Arizona, [ [link removed] ]click here to pitch in and supply our grassroots volunteers
with all of their signature-gathering needs.

Your support will go a long way to helping us put abortion on the ballot
in Arizona, but we want to reiterate what a significant impact it’ll have
nationwide. The massive grassroots investment we're making will affect
other races up and down the ballot in Arizona.
We've already seen from our poll with Data for Progress that a
constitutional amendment on abortion will help boost turnout with a
cumulative 9% increase in vote likelihood in Democrats’ favor. That’s huge
in a state that Joe Biden won by just 0.03%.
Heading into 2024, we have the opportunity to secure abortion rights in
Arizona and also pave the path to a trifecta that can codify Roe. But to
make it happen, it’s going to take all of us. So if you’re able to,

We have a lot of work ahead of us (again, half a million signatures!) but
we know we have the public on our side and the grassroots energy to match.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
