In the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris's ascension as the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party, the Howard University Initiative on Public Opinion conducted a poll on the opinions of Black voters July 22-24 in relation to Harris's candidacy. The report includes results from more than 2000 respondents from more than 30 states, weighted by gender and education level. Results suggest that Harris is best known for her advocacy for reproductive rights, that her best path to victory is to select a white male running mate, and that respondents view her as a politically moderate Democrat. The poll results also show that 93% of those polled plan to vote for VP Kamala Harris. https://lnkd.in/e_S57qf7

Why Reproductive Rights Weren’t Enough: Insights from the 2024 Election As we reflect on the 2024 election, it’s clear that reproductive rights, while crucial, weren’t enough to propel Vice President Kamala Harris past Donald Trump. In my recent interview with U.S. News & World Report, I share with Cecelia Smith-Schoenwalder the complex dynamics at play. Despite strong support for abortion measures in 10 states, Harris underperformed compared to President Biden’s 2020 results, particularly among Hispanic women and white voters without a college degree. This election underscores the challenges women candidates face and the evolving priorities of the electorate. Read more about my analysis and the surprising trends that emerged. Let’s continue the conversation on how we can better support women’s rights and political representation. #ReproductiveRights #WomenInPolitics #PoliticalAnalysis

By tomorrow night, the campaign for Prop 1 (the NYS Equal Rights Amendment) will come to a close as the last New Yorkers cast their vote. We have the chance to make sure our reproductive rights, including abortion, are permanently protected here in New York. We can close loopholes in the state constitution to make sure that no New Yorker can be discriminated against by the government, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, pregnancy status, disability status, or whether someone is LGBT. Prop 1 cements these rights so they cannot be rolled back by out-of-touch politicians in the future. We need to say #YesOnProp1! Here are some easy ways to help us in the homestretch: ?? VOTE!!! If you didn’t vote early, tomorrow is your big day! Grab a friend and get out to the polls! ?? Send a text to your loved ones reminding them to flip over their ballot and VOTE YES on Prop 1.

The Fight Continues: Women of Color in Politics From the suffrage movement to reproductive rights, women have always been on the frontlines of change. BUT the fight's not over. Women of color are still massively underrepresented in politics. Let's change that. ???????????? #WomenOfColor #RepresentationMatters #WOCinPolitics #Intersectionality #PoliticalChange #SocialJustice #Equality

Saying that life begins at conception instead of birth lays the groundwork to put more restrictions on reproductive rights. Get more insights from experts like Public Rights Project Founder & CEO Jill Habig in this Time piece published today. As the current administration continues its attempts to criminalize abortion, we have to be extra vigilant about language, especially around gender and personhood. Words and ideas have immense power. Part of the fight for civil rights requires truly strategic communication. https://lnkd.in/gSZsiYsn

As we approach the November 2024 election, the importance of women's health and reproductive rights is once again at the forefront of the conversation. Florida's Amendment 4, which will be on the ballot, is not just another vote—it's a critical decision that will impact the future of healthcare and bodily autonomy in the state. Amendment 4 aims to enshrine the right to abortion in the Florida Constitution, ensuring that no law can prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before fetal viability or when necessary to protect the patient's health. This is about more than just a legal right—it's about safeguarding the ability of women to make decisions about their own bodies and health without unnecessary government interference. Reproductive rights are fundamental to the broader struggle for gender equality. Access to safe and legal abortion services is essential for women's health, economic stability, and the ability to control their own futures. This amendment is a chance for Florida to protect these rights at a time when they are increasingly under threat across the country. Voting YES on Amendment 4 means standing up for the reproductive freedom that women deserve. It means recognizing that women should have the autonomy to make healthcare decisions in consultation with their medical providers, free from political agendas. If you live in Florida, use your voice and your vote to ensure that women’s health and rights are respected and protected in Florida. This is more than a ballot initiative—it's a vital moment in the ongoing fight for equality and justice. #WomensHealth #ReproductiveRights #Amendment4 #FloridaVotes #HealthcareRights

Women’s rights, wellbeing, and livelihoods are on the ballot this election. This article outlines where the presidential candidates stand on five critical issues impacting women and families, from reproductive rights to childcare and paid leave. It offers a breakdown of where the candidates align on these crucial topics impacting women’s lives and futures.

“You’d think states restricting abortion access would have paid family medical leave, reliable childcare infrastructure, and a living wage to cover the basic needs of working families,” observes Jennifer Stark, co-director of the Center for Business and Social Justice at BSR in a recent Welcome to the Jungle article on 'Roe v. the workplace: The new battleground for women's reproductive rights.' “Instead, the states with the most restrictive abortion laws often have the worst maternal and child health outcomes. If families are forced to choose between time off to care for a loved one and a paycheck, it leads to continued chaos.” https://lnkd.in/eHYMmncW As US society navigates the post-Roe landscape, understanding how businesses are addressing the logistical and financial challenges women face due to these restrictions allows us to glimpse into the inequity these restrictions pose to women’s careers. #sustainablebusiness #humanresources #roevwade

Leading Ob-Gyn organizations in the US are urging the Biden administration to take immediate action to publish the Equal Rights Amendment, recognizing that the Dobbs decision and its aftermath has been possible in part because our Constitution does not explicitly recognize equality on the basis of sex. Post Dobbs, some states (like California and Michigan) have added explicit reproductive rights protections to their state constitutions, while other state courts (for example Kansas and Montana) have recognized an implicit right to abortion in constitutional provisions protecting liberty, privacy etc. This is so important! But the opposite is happening in other states - for example, Florida, where conservative justices have found no right to abortion in the state Constitution, overturning previous precedent. It's also scary that were Congress to pass a federal law restricting abortion, it would likely supersede and therefore void any state constitutional protections. That is why publishing the ERA needs to be a key part of the strategy to protect and restore access to reproductive healthcare in the United States. Even more than any state or federal legislation - Constitutional Equality offers the best source of long-term protection - for reproductive rights, for fair pay, for gender justice. #ERA #ERAnow If you agree, please Take Action: https://lnkd.in/g8Yvfuuz
