STOP THE BANS
ADVOCATE FOR ABORTION ACCESS IN NEBRASKA
Our freedoms are under attack.
Everyone deserves the right to decide if, when and how to become a parent. We cannot allow more restrictions to pass that stand in the way of pregnant people and the health care they need. While the Supreme Court’s decision in summer 2022 was an unprecedented stripping away of a fundamental right that has been in place for nearly five decades, abortion care remains available—although heavily restricted—in Nebraska. We will continue to do everything we can to advocate for barrier-free access to sexual and reproductive health care, including abortion access.
It’s time for bold action. It’s time for solidarity. Are you in?
HOW TO ADVOCATE
The Nebraska Legislative doesn’t get to decide our futures–we do. Use your voice to protect our freedoms and ability to have control over our own bodies! Now is the time to get loud. Share your perspective, expertise and experience on why making your own health care decisions without political interference is important to you.
