Pro-choice protesters in St. Petersburg, Florida on June 29, 2022.
The latest financial reports show that a political committee leading efforts to pass Amendment 4 raised $7.26 million from Aug. 3 through last Thursday. With anti-abortion PACs lining up to defeat the effort to enshrine abortion rights into Florida’s constitution, folks who don’t want the government to tell child-carrying people what to do with their bodies are gonna need all the help they can get.

This weekend, as part of a statewide day of action, the St. Pete League of Women Voters, together with Progress Florida, is going door-to-door to talk to locals about voting “Yes On 4.” No experience is necessary, and the group will provide volunteers with all the training and material they need.

The Yes On 4 Super Saturday canvass happens Saturday, Aug. 24 and meets at St. Petersburg's Allendale United Methodist Church.
