It's Official: Kansas voters have DEFEATED a proposition to remove the right to an abortion from their state constitution. Reproductive rights will now remain part of Kansas’ state constitution! Congratulations, Kansas!!

We think so! 😉

South Dakota is one of only 12 states that STILL haven't expanded Medicaid. This November, voters can change that by taking matters into their own hands and passing South Dakotans Decide Healthcare' Amendment D.

If you haven’t suppressed FL folks from your fundraising program this week, do it now. Seeing pleas for campaign cash between REAL urgent emails/texts from my insurance companies and neighbors is…gross.

You’ve heard of Elf on a Shelf but…

This one’s real.

NEW: Progressives have figured out how to circumvent Republicans who won’t expand Medicaid: They take the question directly to the voters. Six red states have passed ballot measures to expand Medicaid. Looks like South Dakota could be next. My report: nytimes.com/2022/11/03/us/…

Today is a great day because 1) I voted! 2) Fairness Project’s work to help voters expand medicaid in South Dakota is in the NYT — including the print version — with a front page mention!!

Happy Election Day! Fairness Project campaigns director, Hannah Ledford, joined KELO this morning to discuss South Dakota’s Medicaid expansion vote today:

BREAKING: Nebraska votes to raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 by 2026. The current minimum wage is $9. One-fifth of workers in the state will see their wages rise.

HUGE NEWS. Women’s reproductive health is now protected in Michigan. Grateful for the amazing work of the Fairness Project and countless others.

BREAKING: Voters in Michigan just voted to make abortion a right protected by their state constitution. Abortion is our right — and safe, legal abortion care is here to stay in Michigan.

SOUTH DAKOTA voting to expand Medicaid! 🥳🎉

Last week, voters in South Dakota chose to expand access to Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, making it possible for more than 40,000 South Dakotans to access health care. With this good news, 39 states have now expanded Medicaid since 2012. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/-…

We're so thrilled by this victory in South Dakota — which took years of work, coalition building, and organizing alongside South Dakotans Decide Healthcare to achieve. It's absolutely possible to create powerful change at the ballot box.

Polls are officially open, Ohio! Time to get to the ballot box and #VoteYesOnIssue 1 to put women and families back in charge of their health care decisions. Let’s do this! 💪

Excited to share that I'll be at Netroots Nation tomorrow moderating the panel, "Winning Back Abortion Rights at the Ballot Box." Join me, Desiree Tims & Tori Schafer to discuss strategies to protect and advance reproductive rights with ballot measures. Hope to see you there!

LET 👏 VOTERS 👏 DECIDE👏 “It’s a damning indictment of representative democracy when elected officials are scared of the will of their own voters,” said Alexis Magnan-Callaway of the Fairness Project, a union-backed advocacy group that focuses on state ballot measures.
