POSTCARD PARTY for the NYS ERA with Planned Parenthood

Sunday, August 18 from 9am-12pm 

New City location to be announced

POSTCARD PARTY for the NYS ERA with Planned Parenthood

Join us for this local New City postcarding opportunity in support of the

New York State Equal Rights Amendment (NYSERA)

in conjunction with Planned Parenthood.

Sign up Here.

Reproductive rights are on the ballot! On the back of the November ballot, there will be the opportunity to vote YES in favor of the amendment. The NYSERA is an amendment to New York’s State Constitution that adds explicit protections for people who experience discrimination. At a moment in time when we are seeing state governments and courts walk rights backwards, this proposal embeds explicit protections within our state constitution.

Adding to existing enumerated protections against discrimination based on race and religion, this amendment would explicitly prohibit discrimination based on a person’s ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex—including their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes, reproductive healthcare, and bodily autonomy. Embedding these protections within our state constitution insulates us from the political winds that seek to ban, eliminate or reduce access to abortion care through changes to the state law. 

 

Our lives are on the ballot! Let’s send the message.
