Arizona voters approved Proposition 139 in 2024, establishing a fundamental right to abortion in the state Constitution. The amendment took effect Nov. 25, 2024.

The protections differ before and after fetal viability. The Arizona attorney general also says some older abortion regulations remain on the books while courts determine whether they conflict with Proposition 139.

Here’s how to take action:

1. Volunteer with Planned Parenthood Arizona

Planned Parenthood Arizona is accepting volunteers, including people interested in its Clinic Escort Program, which supports patient safety at select health centers.

General volunteers should be able to travel to a Phoenix or Tucson administrative office for orientation and paperwork.

2. Volunteer with the Abortion Fund of Arizona

The Abortion Fund of Arizona, a program of FLORECER: Reproductive Justice, is also looking for volunteers.

Opportunities include helping with its helpline, Spanish translation, outreach, storytelling, policy work, and events around Arizona. Volunteers receive orientation and training.

3. Check or update your voter registration

Arizona’s general election is Nov. 3, 2026.

Take a minute to check that your registration and address are current before Election Day.

4. Share your reproductive-health story

Planned Parenthood has a national form for people who want to share their experiences with abortion, birth control, or other reproductive health care.

Before submitting, read the form carefully. Planned Parenthood says submitted stories may be shared publicly.

5. Ask Congress to act on reproductive rights

The Center for Reproductive Rights is asking people nationwide to contact Congress through its advocacy petition.

This is a federal action, not an Arizona-specific campaign.

Have an event or action to add? Email our state organizing coordinator at Martin@couriernewsroom.com with details at least one week before the event date.
