John, did you catch my appearance on CNN?

I just wrapped my interview with Jim Acosta about our campaign to get the right to reproductive freedom on the ballot next fall in Florida.

We've had a MASSIVE spike in interest in our work since Tuesday when Ohioans voted in historic numbers to enshrine the right to abortion in their state constitution. Everyone wants to know if we can do the same thing in Florida next year.

Like I just told Jim, we are the most organized ballot initiative operation in Florida history and we CAN win – but it will not be cheap.

We've already helped collect hundreds of thousands of petition signatures and are gaining even more momentum after the historic vote in Ohio on Tuesday. We ultimately need to help collect 891,598 validated petitions representing every county in Florida, and we are damn close.

I know we can close the gap and get this done, John. We are more organized than any ballot initiative in Florida history and have the support of Florida voters on our side.

Now it's just a matter of dotting every i and crossing every t to make sure that every petition counts and can be added to our total. But the process of validating a petition is expensive – by design.

On average it costs us $15 to see one petition through from start to finish. Will you sponsor the cost of a petition – or two, or three – right now so we can capitalize on this Ohio momentum?

Thank you for helping us take advantage of this critical momentum.
