Planned Parenthood sent out an update on their progress to influence the platforms for the Nevada Democrats and Republicans. Thought I’d share:
Nevada Caucus Update
This weekend a six month long campaign to influence the party platform for both the Democratic and Republican parties at every level of state office culminated in a win. The Nevada State Democratic Party’s platform was changed to affirm the right to privacy and the tenets of Roe vs. Wade. The change in the Platform even made the news! Check it out here! Planned Parenthood had the daunting task of securing 500 signatures, or 20% of the delegate vote. Overall the Planned Parenthood effort collected 39% of the delegate vote; that’s 972 voters from across the state who want specific guarantees for women’s rights.
