Help craft clear explanations of abortion-related bills in Michigan
Educate and motivate people in MI in the fight for abortion rights in the state legislature.
Posted March 4, 2024
Background & Context
Abortion is now protected by the constitution in Michigan, however there are ongoing efforts to both limit and increase access.
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 people in Michigan 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.
Preparation Phase
- Intro call with volunteer coordinator
- Review library of bill descriptions used previously
Collaboration Phase
- Review bills and summarize into 150 characters or less
- Review feedback of your summaries and adjust/finalize
Wrap Up
- Handoff final summaries
