What’s your plan to vote? I picked up my ballot from the town office earlier this month and dropped it off a few days later. (Did you know once you vote, most of the text messages and mailers stop? Think of it as a bonus treat for voting early!)

Have you asked your friends and family if they need help making a plan to vote or researching the stuff on their ballot? Have you asked if they need a ride? (I am being an absolute pest…sorry not sorry.)

And hey, do you need help figuring out how to vote? If you do, tell me your state (and your general area if you’re comfortable) and I’ll do what I can to help you find info and resources for your area!

And if you’re in one of the ten states with abortion explicitly on the ballot, there’s a quick run down of all the state questions here so you can double check what’s up. (And anyone can go to Ballotpedia to see what’s on their ballot, just put in your town, you don’t have to give your full address or your email address.)

P.S. I do a post every month sending $150 to Aid Access (an organization based in the Netherlands that has been providing abortion pills to people who need them for years and years and years). I picked Aid Access in part because they’re not based in the US (and so aren’t nearly as affected by the bullshit happening here), and in part because they are stupendous badasses who are dedicated to making sure everyone has access to safe, effective medication abortion, no matter what the law says. They’ll be here to help, no matter what happens next week.

P.P.S. As always, I am strongly and vocally pro abortion. I know very nearly everyone seeing this feels the same way! You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t! But if you are just now finding this out about me and it bugs you, do feel free to see yourself out.  Quietly. Because this isn’t ever going to change.
