1. Are you registered to vote? You can register at your local clerks office or online at the State of Michigan

2. Then ask if they are planning to vote...and review the options (these are for Oceana County)

2024 is a critical year for protecting and standing up for the values we share including reproductive, civil and basic human rights, not to mention our democracy.

The goal of the Repro Ballot Signers Postcard Project 2024 is to send a postcard to everyone that signed the Michigan Reproductive Freedom for All ballot petition in 2022, reminding voters of the critical part that Reproductive Rights plays in this election, both nationally and for the future of Michigan, and to get them out to vote!
