Tonight at 4PM on FSU's campus, the Feminist Majority Foundation's No on 6 Campaign will be having its FINAL volunteer training. The big day is coming up and we need volunteers to help us out! On Election Day, we will be stationed at different polling locations urging people to vote no on Amendment 6. At this training, we will go over the logistics of electioneering and how we we will be campaigning against Amendment 6. It will take place in the Florida Room, which is one of the Union Ballrooms.

No on 6 Volunteer Training

Next Thursday October 18th from 5:30-7, FSU will he holding a volunteer training for the No on 6 campaign. Amendment 6 would insert politicians where they don't belong - inside a woman's doctor office. This training will go over the amendment, as well as give people volunteer opportunities. Volunteers who commit eight hours will get a free t-shirt, and all volunteers can receive ServScript hours for their help.

Who we are

As part of our campaign, this Tumblr will be used to spread the word about Amendment 6 in Florida, which is yet another anti-choice initiative by the Florida government. Here is a summary of what the amendment would do:

This proposed amendment provides that public funds may not be expended for any abortion or for health-benefits coverage that includes coverage of abortion. This prohibition does not apply to an expenditure required by federal law, a case in which a woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness that would place her in danger of death unless an abortion is performed, or a case of rape or incest. This proposed amendment provides that the State Constitution may not be interpreted to create broader rights to an abortion than those contained in the United States Constitution. With respect to abortion, this proposed amendment overrules court decisions which conclude that the right of privacy under Article I, Section 23 of the State Constitution is broader in scope than that of the United States Constitution.
