Reproductive Freedom for All Director of Georgia Campaigns, Alicia Stallworth, released the following statement:
“As our state grapples with the dangerous ramifications of Republicans’ abortion ban, we need to elect champions to the General Assembly who are a beacon of hope for the future of reproductive freedom. Each of these candidates have demonstrated their unwavering commitment to upholding our fundamental rights. We are proud to endorse them and our members are ready to mobilize to ensure they are elected this November.”
This announcement builds on Reproductive Freedom for All Georgia’s ongoing efforts to endorse and support candidates committed to protecting and advancing reproductive freedom.
Reproductive Freedom for All is already on the ground in states across the country—including Georgia—as part of its largest-ever electoral program, working to ensure reproductive freedom champions are elected from statehouses to the White House and that we protect and expand abortion rights and access through ballot measures. Our 2024 program connects voters with opportunities to make immediate, tangible changes to help build a future where everyone is free to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, and families.
In November, on the heels of yet another resounding victory for abortion rights in elections across the country, Reproductive Freedom for All launched its “Vote for Repro Freedom” campaign. This digital and grassroots campaign will harness the momentum of big wins in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky by encouraging voters to commit to voting in 2024 for reproductive freedom champions as the first step in mobilizing the 8 in 10 Americans who support legal abortion.
