Help craft clear explanations of abortion-related bills in Texas

Educate and motivate Texans in the fight for abortion rights in the state legislature.

Posted January 17, 2024

Background & Context

Texas has some of the harshest anti-abortion laws in the United States.

Immediate Problem

Bills are complex and nuanced, and it can be difficult for people to understand how this legislation came to be. We want Texans who care about reproductive rights to actively engage with their legislators, 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.
