Take Action with PPAA KY
This 60-day legislative session is in the books! Extremist politicians passed several laws that harmed our Queer & Trans youth last session, filed more bills this session, and they refused to restore access to abortion. This session they filed a profusion of bills attacking voting rights and diversity, equity, and inclusion in PK-12, colleges, and universities, medical privacy, and filed fetal personhood bills. We fought back against additional abortion restrictions and more attacks on trans rights, and WE WON!
This spring and summer, we need your help! Help us send a message to legislators loud and clear that we won't back down, and we won't go back. We have held rallies and spoken to legislators in person and by Zoom for constituents from the far corners of the Commonwealth! Join the fight for reproductive freedom by signing up to volunteer accountability phone banks, attend events, or speak to our neighbors through accountability canvassing. There are also unique community building and volunteer opportunities all across Kentucky! So many ways to help! Something for everyone!
