On Election Day in Ohio next week, voters will decide whether to enshrine reproductive rights in the state constitution.
Issue 1 would make it an Ohio state constitutional right to “make and carry out one’s own reproductive decisions.” This will include abortion, contraception, fertility treatment, and miscarriage care.
Turnout in our district is critical to ensuring Issue 1 passes, and we need your help to reach as many voters as we can.
In August, voters defeated a proposal to make initiatives like this harder to pass. The Washington Post analyzed that even in 15 counties that had voted for Trump, the proposal failed. It’s clear that Ohioans want to protect abortion access, but we need to ensure voters in our district turn out next week.
Here’s the plan: We are going to help spread the word to folks in our district to encourage them to vote YES on this issue so we can enshrine abortion rights into our state constitution, but we cannot do this alone.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. Now, as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, she will fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and equity and justice for all. Will you join her and be the change we need?
