NEW OFFICIAL NUMBERS!
I'm Anna Hochkammer, Executive Director of the Florida Women's Freedom Coalition, and as of this morning, the Florida Secretary of State has validated 833,743 out of 891,523 petitions we need by December 31 to put an abortion rights amendment on the 2024 Florida ballot.
They are still counting because together with our allies we were actually able to deliver 1.4 MILLION signatures! IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT!
Now, we're turning our attention to empower 10,000 trained volunteer petition gatherers to become a ballot initiative army and to kick off the campaign to pass the abortion rights amendment in Florida. Both are going to require major resources. We can only do this with grassroots support from groups like the PCCC and people like you!

MSNBC reports that more than 150,000 of the voters who have signed the Florida petition to put a state constitutional amendment guaranteeing abortion rights on the 2024 ballot are registered Republicans.
This is exactly the kind of crossover that contributed to the huge double-digit victories of similar abortion rights votes in Ohio, Kansas, and other red states and that will bring pro-choice voters to the polls in Florida next year.
To get the abortion rights amendment on the 2024 ballot, our friends at the Florida Women’s Freedom Coalition and other groups must collect and validate 900,000 petition signatures by the state deadline of December 31st at midnight. The Florida Division of Elections had validated nearly 700,000 signatures as of mid-December.
It has cost over $13 million to get this far, and it will cost another several million to finish this crucial job by the Dec 31 deadline. Thousands of PCCC members across the nation have already contributed to create the momentum to achieve victory.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
-- The PCCC Team
