ALERT: Rules & Forms for Collecting the Floridians Protecting Freedom/Abortion Access Petition

Click here to open and print the petition. Please share widely!

Dear Friends,

This email provides more information than my first letter about gathering the more than 900,000 petitions we need to have our citizen-initiated amendment to protect women’s healthcare freedom by making abortion access declared legal. Once we can get it on the 2024 ballot, the electorate can vote, and we will secure a long overdue protection in Florida. 

Please open https://linktr.ee/floridians protecting freedom for the rules and links to forms – especially check out the Volunteer Guide. I cannot underscore enough how important it is that every petition be checked for legibility, correct county, not country; birthdates, date signed and signature. If there is one error, it will not count!

WE DO NOT HAVE 30 DAYS TO GET THE PETITIONS TO A HUB, BECAUSE THE HUB NEEDS TO SEND THEM TO THE STATE WITHIN 30 DAYS. Therefore, we need to deliver signed petitions within seven days of when they were signed.
FYI: Here is the link to the rules and forms:  https://linktr.ee/floridians protecting freedom

The text reads: Petitions must be turned into the state within 30 days of collection. This means you should mail them in or drop them off at a hub within 7 days or less of collection. It is great to see how many Florida voters are eager to support our effort. It is not surprising, because permanent legal status for women’s healthcare choices is so long overdue. The task is huge, its success is imperative.

Please contact me for any questions or concerns: 561-504-9780; <[email protected]>. I am also available to pick up your collections if you are unable to deliver them yourself to a hub. OR YOU CAN MAIL THEM TO THE ADDRESS LISTED ON THE WEBSITE:
Petition Collection
Post Office Box 4068
Sarasota, FL 34230

Many thanks,

Warmly,
Arlene
