Vote for Our Communities: Get Involved with Ballot Initiatives
In 2024, we have a huge opportunity to change our communities for the better by getting paid sick leave, securing the fundamental right to abortion, and repealing a private school voucher scheme. OutNebraska volunteers can help us create a better Nebraska by volunteering at an event educating people about the Paid Sick Leave, Protect Our Rights (pro-choice abortion), and Support Our Schools (pro-public school) campaigns.
