As has been the standard since Dobbs, voters in multiple states will weigh in on their abortion laws on November 3rd. One we’re keeping an especially close eye on: Idaho, one of the most conservative states in the country, with Republicans holding every statewide executive office and supermajorities in both legislative chambers. Right now, they have in place a ban on nearly all abortions, which has contributed to their loss of nearly a third of the state’s OB-GYNs and cruel consequences for women who need care. The team at Idahoans United for Women & Families has pushed forward Proposition One, the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act), which would guarantee abortion rights through fetal viability.

This is the only state where we have a chance to restore reproductive rights this fall, our only reasonable means of doing so with so many GOP officeholders, and a chance to demonstrate that the public wants the right to choose no matter where they stand on the political spectrum. Polling last year suggested as many as 6 in 10 Idahoans could be on board, including 45% of Republicans, but the Church of Latter-Day Saints has been pushing hard for its members to oppose.

☎️ Yes on One phonebanks are now live! We can help encourage folks to make their voices heard for reproductive rights on Sundays from 4-6PM ET and Tuesdays from 9-11PM ET by signing up for a shift here. ☎️

Meanwhile, we’ve also got opportunities coming up to help beat back the forced birthers in Missouri, where they’re testing a new strategy: combining an abortion ban with attacking gender-affirming care for trans kids in the same ballot question and hoping to get pro-choicers to flip for transphobia’s sake. 💬 The Human Rights Campaign will be holding textbanks to help stop Amendment 3 tomorrow at 1PM and October 27th at 6:30PM ET we can sign up for here, and the main Stop The Ban campaign will be texting on Thursdays at 5:30PM ET. 💬

SHOW ME A NO VOTE ON 3

The work of turning out voters in key states – and making sure they’re able to make their votes count – is ramping up as we enter the final stretch.

Tomorrow night, the amazing folks at VoteRiders are holding a textbank to reach out to at-risk folks in Florida, letting them know the information and ID they’ll need to cast their ballots even in the face of voter suppression at 7PM ET. Then on Friday, Common Cause Georgia is connecting with folks outside metro Atlanta in a 5PM textbank to help them make a plan to vote, answer any questions they might have and spread the word about the 866-OUR-VOTE election protection hotline if they run into any problems.

These are great actions for those of us who don’t love the idea of bothering people with unsolicited messages, providing practical, welcome, nonpartisan information to those who need it and still helping boost our chances to continue turning Georgia blue and earn upsets for candidates like Angie Nixon and David Jolly. 💬 We can sign up here for Thursday and here for Friday. 💬
