WHAT IS ON MY BALLOT?

We recently presented New York’s Proposition 1 or Prop 1 to you. On this year’s ballot, you will be asked to vote on the Equal Protection Act Amendment.

• According to a Prop 1 ballot example, “would protect against unequal treatment based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability and sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity and pregnancy. It would also protect against inequalities in treatment based on reproductive health care and autonomy.”
• Proposition 1 does not change any existing laws but cements those we already have in the New York State Constitution, including protections against discrimination based on race, color, creed and religion.
• Some voters believe Proposition 1’s vague language could open the door to other changes and legal challenges because once it’s written into the constitution, it’s difficult to remove.
