Project 50

It was a privilege to be with so many leaders on Wednesday in Washington, DC, to discuss Project 50 and the state of reproductive rights during this critical time.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our wonderful host, Amy Weiss!

As one of the few states with state-wide elections this year, a lot is at stake for reproductive rights in Virginia. Currently, pro-choice allies in the state legislature control the House of Delegates by just one seat. Preserving this majority is crucial to ensuring that Virginia remains a safe haven for abortion access in the South.

Additionally, Virginia is working to advance a constitutional amendment that would guarantee reproductive freedom. Under state law, constitutional amendments must pass the General Assembly in two separate sessions before they can be placed on the ballot for a public vote. To date, the constitutional amendment has passed once; the second and final passage will only take place after the November election.
