Support In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda DONATE

MAKE A PLAN. SHARE YOUR PLAN.

With the November 2022 Election near, it’s imperative that everyone make a plan to vote and encourage their families, friends, and communities to also make a plan to vote. This election will determine what policies may look like in our communities for years to come. Don’t just focus on the candidates at the top of your ballot, but also pay close attention to all the candidates up and down the ticket.

We’re not just voting for members of Congress, but in many jurisdictions, people are also voting for candidates for the state legislature, city council, boards of education, and judgeships—people who will make decisions about who has access to reproductive health care, voting access, how state and local funds are distributed for schools and city services, etc.

All these races are critical to how we live our everyday lives. Your vote for these positions is important. So – MAKE A PLAN to vote! SHARE YOUR PLAN!
