WISCONSIN–November 9, 2022–Last night’s victory was made possible by the tens of thousands of voters who turned out because they believe a woman deserves the freedom to make her own health care decisions and that includes abortion. The people have spoken and it’s time to end Wisconsin’s criminal abortion ban. This historical moment where voters were driven by their desire to restore abortion access and women’s ability to make their own health care decisions was the largest campaign outreach effort executed by PPAWI in our history. 

  • Throughout the campaign PPAWI reached more than 1,250,000 voters online, at their doors, on their phones and in their living rooms. 
  • More specifically, we made over 180,000 phone calls, 140,000 door knocks, texted 133,000 people and had over 25,000 conversations with voters with the help of more than 500 Planned Parenthood activists. 
  • Our digital program reached more than 1 million people across the state and our ads were seen over 51 million times. 
  • We held 173 events engaging voters in the issues that mattered most in this election.
  • PPAWI ran programs on 9 college campuses collecting over 15,000 pledge to vote cards and 750 students texting their friends to vote on election day reaching more than 2200 students.
