New Yorkers for Equal Rights

11/06/2024

WE DID IT! has passed!

NY's constitution will now protect our reproductive freedoms, including abortion, and protect every New Yorker from government discrimination, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, pregnancy status, disability status, or whether someone is LGBT.

We are so grateful to our 500+ partner organizations who spearheaded the charge to defend our rights and freedoms. And we're indebted to the phenomenal volunteers from all over NY who canvassed, phonebanked, and talked to their friends and family about the importance of Prop 1.

Most of all, we thank all of the millions of New Yorkers who voted , undeterred by a last minute, multi-million dollar smear campaign from out-of-state, anti-abortion billionaires determined to scare and divide voters.

While the world waits for the national election results, tonight, New York State lived up to our motto, “ever upward,” and took an extraordinary step forward in our enduring work to build freedom for all.

Thank you all!

Proposition 1 was aggressively opposed by Republicans, who tried to cast it as an attack on girls’ sports and a giveaway to migrants.

NEW: More than 150 New York doctors and health care providers signed a letter supporting in order to protect health care access.

“The bottom line is that the full range of sexual and reproductive health care decisions must be made between patients and their doctors – without government interference. Prop 1 blocks New York politicians from interfering in the patient-provider relationship.”

The ballot measure would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.

On or before November 5, remember to flip your ballot over and vote yes on Prop 1 and yes to freedom — our rights and our futures, and that of our children, depend on it.”--Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill in

Abortion rights in New York State are protected, but not guaranteed. New York voters can fix that by turning their ballots over and voting for Proposition 1.
