Friend,
If you’ve taken part in voting by mail, you may have already received your ballot. If you’ve already had the chance to look over your ballot, you will find several ballot initiatives you get to have your say on.
One of the important questions on your ballot this year is Proposition 1. Prop 1 is an equal rights amendment that, if passed, will protect New Yorkers from discrimination based on ethnicity; national origin; age; disability; and sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity and pregnancy—as well as protecting abortion rights.
After you vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, I need you to make sure you read through your entire ballot and make your voice heard. We can’t pass Prop 1 without you and your vote—we need all hands on deck.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned—and following Donald Trump’s and the GOP’s rhetoric and voting records when it comes to women’s and LGBTQIA+ equality—this amendment couldn’t be more vital to our city.
In under two weeks, New Yorkers will head to their polling locations to exercise their right to vote. Many of you have already received your mail-in ballot and will be returning it to your drop-off location or mailing it in over the next two weeks. Before you do, make sure you have answered every part of the ballot.
Once you vote for Kamala Harris and down-ballot Democrats, turn your ballot over and vote YES on PROP 1 so we can build a New York for everyone.
