Voters of Nebraska staff operated a sophisticated digital program that generated 43,180 website visits, 15 blog posts, 240 new facebook followers, 377 new instagram followers. During fy25, 180,110 emails were sent to supporters asking them to take action on behalf of voters of Nebraska.in fy25 the number of voters of Nebraska supporters held steady around 50,000. We communicated with these supporters via email, text, social media platforms, volunteer newsletters, and through methods like supporter events and meet-ups. In fy25, staff continued to do work that focused on ensuring that various groups of people had their interests and needs heard as it relates to advocating for sexual and reproductive healthcare in our state. This included working with young people and people that speak different languages. To do this we tabled at various events, provided community education on sexual and reproductive health policy issues, and provided practical basic needs like period and safer sex supplies. During fy25, Nebraska based volunteers donated over 1,300 hours of time. Our volunteers are heavily involved in all aspects of our work, including patient escorting, phone banking for grassroots advocacy and electoral goals, door-to-door canvassing, postcard-writing, text banking, and outreach event tabling. During the 2024 election, a confusion and deception campaign prevented a ballot initiative that would have expanded abortion access from passing. The same campaign allowed an initiative that banned abortion after 12 weeks in constitution to pass. This initiative also leaves the door wide open for abrotion to be further restricted or fully banned in the future. Ppvn saw the impacts of this early on in the 2025 legislative session. There were three different bills introduced to further restrict abortion in Nebraska. All three would be classified as targeted restrictions on abortion providers (trap) laws. All three made false claims about abortion and its safety, using junk science to support their claims. Ppvn worked closely with legislators to counter the misinformation and our supporters used their voices, through emails, phone calls, and in person visits, to let their senators know they did not want abortion to be further restricted. Thankfully these efforts succeeded with none of the three bills being passed and signed into law. Unfortunately, all three bills will be carried over to the 2026 legislative session and could be passed then. Ppvn will continue to advocate against these bills. Ppvn was heavily involved in the 2024 state elections, focusing on support for candidates that would protect the issues that matter to planned parenthood and their patients. Through the elections cycle ppvn contacted voters via 72,177 phone calls, 3,016 doors knocked, 3,250 handwritten postcards, 156,289 pieces of mail, 93,000 emails sent, and 6 million digital ad impressions. The result was having a record 15 ppvn-endorsed state senators in the 2026 legislature. In the spring of 2025, ppvn did a small amount of work in the omaha and lincoln municipal elections. Three ppvn endorsed candidates were reelected to lincoln city council. And, most notably, a ppvn endorsed candidate was the first black man ever to be elected as omaha's mayor. In march, planned parenthood voters of Nebraska held their annual lobby day. Almost 100 supporters came to talk to their senators. Supporters were given information about three bills that the organization was working on and asked to talk to senators about the ones that were most relevant to them and their district. Supporters met first to learn more about the process of lobbying their senators and information about the bills they would lobby about. Then supporters headed to the capitol and spoke with their senators. Finally, they returned for lunch and to debrief their experiences.
