We visit a drive-by petition signing party hosted by Protect Our Rights, the coalition working to get a constitutional amendment onto the ballot this November to protect access to abortion in the state of Nebraska.

Special thanks to Andi Curry Grubb of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Nebraska (PPAN), Shelley Mann of Nebraska Abortion Resources (NEAR), and all the volunteers who shared their time and stories with me.
