We discuss the work of governors across several states to defend the rights of their residents. GovAct serves as an innovation hub for policies on democracy, public health, and reproductive rights.

Julia's civic action toolkit recommendations are:

Get involved in state races
Bearing witness to Minneapolis and the brave people standing up for their neighbors

Julia Spiegel is the President and CEO of GovAct. She helped create the Reproductive Freedom Alliance, which united 23 governors in protecting reproductive rights post-Roe.
