5 ways to support reproductive freedom across Nevada

As the constitutional amendment heads to a second vote, advocates can join grassroots canvasses, share personal stories, or assist local clinics.

Question 6 is back on Nevada’s ballot this fall.

Voters approved the measure with 64.36% of the vote in 2024. But constitutional initiatives in Nevada must pass in two consecutive general elections before taking effect, so Question 6 must win again on Nov. 3.

The measure has not yet changed the Nevada Constitution. Nevada’s existing law separately permits abortion within 24 weeks of pregnancy, with an exception after 24 weeks when a physician has reasonable cause to believe it is necessary to preserve the pregnant patient’s life or health.

Here’s how to take action:

1. Learn about the Question 6 campaign

Reproductive Freedom for All is asking supporters to commit to voting yes on Question 6.

Its online action page also tells users that submitting the form affiliates them with the organization and may sign them up for future communications.

2. Canvass for Question 6 in Las Vegas

Reproductive Freedom for All lists Nevada Volunteers as the partner for a Las Vegas canvass Saturday, Aug. 29, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The exact meeting location is provided after RSVP. The event page says first-time canvassers are welcome.

3. Check or update your voter registration

Question 6 is one of the issues Nevada voters will decide in the Nov. 3 general election.

Check that your voter registration and address are current before Election Day.

4. Volunteer with Planned Parenthood Mar Monte

Planned Parenthood Mar Monte’s service area includes Nevada, and the organization has an ongoing volunteer program.

Its volunteer resources also connect people with coalition partners working on abortion access, transportation, intake, and community outreach.

5. Share your reproductive-health story

Planned Parenthood’s national story form accepts experiences involving abortion, birth control, and other reproductive health care.

Read the form before submitting. Planned Parenthood says stories may be shared publicly.
