The Pro-Life Generation made nearly 10,000 phone calls in ONE WEEKEND to pro-life Democrats in New Mexico ahead of the state's Democratic primary this Tuesday, June 2nd. Students for Life Action has been working all May to identify and turn out pro-life Democrats in support of state senators Gabriel Ramos and Mary Kay Papen.

This Saturday was Pro-Life Democrat Calling Day. Students for Life Action activists volunteered to make phone calls throughout the day, and in total, made 9,314 phone calls! In just a few hours, they had made 6,000 phone calls, and added another 3 hours throughout the evening.

Titus Folks, National Campaigns Advisor for Students for Life Action stated:

"The Pro-Life Generation knows that a post-Roe America requires both pro-life Democrats and pro-life Republicans. This Saturday is just one part of a tremendous effort by the Pro-Life Generation to make nearly 40,000 phone calls to support two pro-life Democrats."

Folks continued, "This is part of our larger #VoteProLifeFirst Initiative; abortion is the number one human rights issue of our day, and voters should vote pro-life first before any other issue."

Students for Life Action has made over 75,000 phone calls to pro-life voters so far in 2020. They were also involved in the 3rd Congressional District Democratic primary in 2020, turning out pro-life voter to vote pro-life first. You can read more about that effort here.
