Yes on Prop 1 Rally
Sunday, October 20 at 1:30 pm
Father Demo Square (Bleecker Street and 6th Ave.)

Prop 1 will appear on the back of ballots across the state to protect New Yorkers’ rights and fundamental freedoms – including abortion.

Prop 1 will ensure our reproductive rights and fundamental freedoms – including abortion – are protected from government interference, keeping the power with New Yorkers and not politicians — permanently. It also protects New Yorkers from government discrimination – because no New Yorker should be taken advantage of by those in power.

While abortion is currently protected by state law, those laws are not ironclad and can be overturned. New York’s current laws can be changed or rolled back depending on who is in the state legislature or Governor’s Mansion. Passing Prop 1 would ensure the right to abortion can’t be rolled back in New York.

Reserve a spot on the bus

Please see below special invitation from incoming State Committee Member and GSD member Wei-Li Tjong:

The time is nigh to help lift up our Democratic candidates by a targeted on-the-ground effort in a neighboring Pennsylvania district!

Through VOTE BLUE, and the efforts of our Democratic clubs and our electeds, we have first dibs to OFFICIALLY SIGN UP for the bus. UNTIL YOU SIGN UP YOU HAVE NOT RESERVED YOUR SEAT. WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THIS SUNDAY TO FILL THIS BUS OURSELVES (and with all of our friends and family who want to join) — and then the bus will be open to any other volunteers.

Let’s fill this bus and make it a day of friends, family and neighbors in common cause. What’s happening is frightening. We have a chance to pitch in to invigorate and educate. It will come down to work like this, if Democrats have a hope of forming the necessary bulwark to shore up our Republic.

Let’s take ourselves to the frontlines, and put boots on the ground for our beliefs, decency and common sense!

It’s a long day, but we will be back by 7pm leaving and returning from Union Square East (between 15th & 16th Sts). We will be trained on the way by experienced canvassers, so no experience needed!

Wear comfy shoes and bring your smartphones and some ways to charge them. More FAQs are at the Eventbrite link below. If helping out with $10 per person is any issue, please let me know, and we will arrange to cover it.

Be sure WHEN YOU SIGN UP to pick the “PA Combined (House, Senate, Harris/Walz)” bus ticket — and each person, regardless of age, needs to be registered:

Let’s do this!
