DON'T FORGET TO FLIP YOUR BALLOT & VOTE FOR PROGRESS!


While politicians and courts across the country are narrowing and rescinding our rights, Proposition 1, or the NYS Equal Rights Amendment, will guarantee constitutional protections (abortion, LGBTQ+, disability, sex and sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, national origin and age) for all New Yorkers. 


But don’t we already have these laws?  Yes, but they are not guaranteed rights.  


GUARANTEE THESE RIGHTS!!!


 Flip the ballot and vote YES for Prop 1 this November.
