Help craft clear explanations of abortion-related bills in Virginia
Educate and motivate Virginians in the fight for abortion rights in the state legislature.
Posted January 17, 2024
Background & Context
Abortion is legal in Virginia, but it is in danger.
Immediate Problem
Bills are complex and nuanced, and it can be difficult for people who care about reproductive rights to truly understand the intricacies of legislation. We want to motivate Virginians who care about reproductive rights to actively engage with the legislative process, but first we need to make it easy to "get up to speed".
Work & Deliverables
We're crafting infographics, webpages, and videos that break down current and past legislation impacting abortion rights and access.
You'll help find legislation from the past few years, and translate it into short, everyday language that anyone can grasp. We want to be factual, yet extremely concise and straightforward.
We will provide a examples of language that other states have used as a starting point.
