Pro-choice campaign mobilises volunteers

The yes movement in the abortion referendum expects thousands of volunteers to help its door-to-door campaign. It will also heavily campaign on social media.

The Together for Yes campaign will officially be launched later this week, as the Dáil also debates plans to repeal the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution and liberalise access to abortion in Ireland.

Joint Together for Yes campaign leader Orla O’Connor, director of the National Women’s Council, told the Irish Examiner that a key focus would be explaining women’s experiences.
