While the results of this election weren’t what we had hoped or worked for, we know that reproductive freedom was a key issue for voters across the country—and in many races, resulted in wins we are so proud of.

In this election, Reproductive Freedom for All ran its largest electoral program in our organization’s history and our movement showed up in full force. We endorsed and supported nearly 400 candidates up and down the ballot, and our volunteers came together to make over 5.8 million phone calls, knock on more than 548,000 doors, and send 45 million text messages to voters across the country.

Key wins for reproductive freedom include:

• Reproductive freedom voters won seven ballot measures in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada (where the measure will be on the ballot again in 2026) and New York.
• For the first time, we will have two Black women serving in the U.S. Senate at the same time—Lisa Blunt Rochester for Delaware and Angela Alsobrooks for Maryland.
• Reproductive freedom candidates secured key victories in the U.S. Senate including the re-elections of Senators Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin) and Jacky Rosen (Nevada), and Senators-elect Ruben Gallego (Arizona) and Elissa Slotkin (Michigan).
• We won key state supreme court justices seats: Michigan’s Kimberly Ann Thomas and Justice Kyra Harris Bolden, and Judge Katherine Bidegaray in Montana.
• We re-elected dozens of reproductive freedom champions in state legislatures and the U.S. House and Senate. We have leaders who will hold the Trump administration and state leaders accountable and strongly advocate for our rights.

While Florida’s abortion ballot measure didn’t pass (because it needed to reach a 60% threshold), the majority of Floridians (57%!) did vote to protect abortion access. This election proved once again that abortion is a winning issue.

The path ahead won’t be easy with Republicans in full control of the White House and Congress. Anti-abortion extremists will undoubtedly try to push their radical agenda. But we’ve faced tough battles before—and we’ve never backed down. We didn’t stop fighting when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and we won’t stop now.

The work doesn’t disappear because of the results of one election. Every single door knocked, text sent, and conversation with a neighbor helps to build a community of people who believe in reproductive freedom.

We’re going to need the power of that community in the months ahead. We do not and will not back down from anti-abortion extremists who are hell-bent on taking away our rights. We’re going to be there every step of the way, ready to challenge them and hold them accountable.

We’re going to keep fighting for a future where reproductive freedom is a reality for everyone.

Reproductive Freedom for All’s 2024 Electoral Program

Our 2024 electoral program was focused on engaging members and voters—and especially Gen Z and voters of color—through digital and relational organizing, deep field investments, robust accountability and communications programs, on-the-ground support in crucial races and ballot initiatives, and more.

We had organizers on the ground in key states, including our chapter states of Arizona, California, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada harnessing the full power of our more than 4 million members through phone banks and text banks, canvasses, and online mobilization.

We expanded our focus this year to include voters who are often forgotten by traditional electoral programs, including community and commuter college students.

During this election the program:

• Made over 200,000 calls through our volunteer phone banks to key voters in must-win states (including women, young voters, and voters of color), and our member volunteers completed more than 1,470 volunteer shifts knocking on doors in battleground states.
• Connected voters with the tools and resources they needed to mobilize their own communities, training over 1,300 volunteers for our peer-to-peer texting program and contacting over 12 million voters in key states to confirm voter registrations, identify reproductive freedom voters, and help them make a plan to vote.
• Ramped up our youth organizing program, which included working on community and commuter college campuses and the launch of our first-ever relational organizing program. We expanded our student organizing operations to Arizona, California, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada, in coordination with our National Youth Action Council, which is actively working with a group of 1,800 engaged volunteers.
• Ran digital, TV,  canvass, and phone campaigns to reach key voters with a focus on women, young people and people of color through the Reproductive Freedom for All Freedom Fund, including:
  • Launching an $8 million campaign in partnership with Future Forward (FF PAC) for “Who You Trust,” an ad contrasting Trump and Vice President Harris on reproductive freedom and economic stability.
  • Launching an ad holding Trump responsible for the abortion ban that led to the preventable death of Amber Nicole Thurman in Georgia. The ad was accompanied by a push to dial and text over 150,000 voters.
  • Launching a phone campaign in the battleground states of Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, and Pennsylvania to reach 1.5 million voters.
• Launching a final GOTV push canvass in Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan with 800 shifts knocking on doors, focused on reaching key voters to turn out for Vice President Harris and our endorsed Senate candidates.
• Endorsed and supported nearly 400 candidates in races across the country, from statehouses to the White House.
• Worked alongside our partners in Nevada and Arizona as founding members of the ballot measures campaigns to protect abortion rights and access and supported key measures in other states.
• Held “Restore Our Rights” member-organizing events calling voters on key electoral races across the country and giving them opportunities for direct action, as well as engaged voters through “Turn Out Tuesday,” which provided easy actions to take during the Election cycle.

We are in this together. The work continues and we need you with us. Join the movement.
