Working closely with other Coalition committees, the Mobilization and Advocacy Committee (MAC) participates in, plans and implements action events that support the tenets of reproductive freedom, including equitable access to abortion and birth control, and bodily autonomy.
Mobilization: MAC will participate in getting the vote out (GOTV). We will partner with organizations, such as UU Justice Ministry NC, Carolina Jews for Justice, You Can Vote, and Planned Parenthood. MAC will inform and encourage all Coalition congregation members to participate in various opportunities to increase voter turnout.
Advocacy: MAC will organize events in defense and support of abortion and birth control access and maternal healthcare. Such events include the Rally on Jan. 22nd in Raleigh and the standing as witnesses outside the US Federal Courthouse in Raleigh as SCOTUS heard oral arguments re Mifepristone.
