North Carolina NOW’s 2024 pro-choice signature ad quotes Ashley All, from Kansas, a Communication and Political Strategist who has been helping states win on abortion since the loss of Dobbs in 2022. Ashley All was the keynote speaker at our 2022 NC NOW State Conference. You can watch her presentation, “The Kansas Case Study: Messages that win in a post-Roe world,” at https://wp.me/p22b2e-4go. In 2023, Ms. All said many things, including these we captured in the 2024 signature ad.
“People now see the real consequences of these bans. They see children having to cross state lines to get care. They see women almost dying in childbirth. So they don’t buy the arguments that the other side is making.”
“Dobbs changed everything.”
The Indy Week periodical with the pro-choice signature ad were distributed on 1/24/24. If you live in or visit the Triangle area over the next week (1/24-1/30), you can pick up copies of the Indys with the Signature Ad in local coffee shops, bagel shops, some grocery stores, and some restaurants among other places.
This beautiful ad, with Barbie pink, shows the inspiration of the 2023 Barbie movie, even as the 2024 Oscars snubbed the Barbie star (Margot Robbie) and the Barbie director (Greta Gerwig). In great irony, Margot Robbie got passed over – for Ken at the Oscars. ‘Barbie’ was America’s highest-grossing movie of 2023, and passed $1 billion globally in early August!
Donations to NC NOW and the signature ad are gratefully accepted at https://northcarolinanow.wordpress.com/pro-choice-signature-ad/ or at https://northcarolinanow.wordpress.com/donate-now/. At this point, we can start collecting names for the 2025 signature ad.
