Forty trained election observers from @ACLUSouthDakota are spread among Sioux Falls, Aberdeen and Rapid City, and the organization said it’s ready to respond immediately to voting rights infringements. The latest update in our #ElectionDay live feed: southdakotasearchlight.com/2024/11/05/liv…
It is so painful to keep reading these stories, but you must. Nevaeh Crain died of a miscarriage because of Texas's abortion ban. “This is how these restrictions kill women. ..It is never just one decision, it’s never just one doctor, it’s never just one nurse.”
Nevaeh Crain visited 2 Texas emergency rooms in 12 hours, returning home each time worse than before. On her third trip, a doctor insisted on 2 ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise” before moving her to intensive care. Hours later, Nevaeh died. propublica.org/article/nevaeh…

While the state can make inquiries into specific voters with evidence to support its claims that an individual is not legally eligible to vote, it cannot enact blanket purges based on potentially inaccurate databases this close to the election. dakotanewsnow.com/2024/10/08/acl…
Federal law prohibits blanket purges of voters 90 days before an election. SD conducted one of these purges a mere 28 days before the election and then bragged about it in a press release. @ACLUSouthDakota demands these wrongfully purged voters be immediately reinstated.
News alert! The ACLU of South Dakota demands immediate reinstatement of voters purged from registration rolls. aclusd.org/en/press-relea…
NEW REPORT‼️ The data shows there were more pregnancy-related prosecutions in the first year after Dobbs than in ANY prior year. Why? State actors are emboldened, putting pregnant people under INCREASED surveillance and making a dire situation even worse. pregnancyjusticeus.org/wp-content/upl…
The North Dakota Legislature’s interim Education Committee has been studying “school choice” models, such as voucher systems where the state helps pay for a student’s private education. 🧵 1/9
Over 80% of people released from prisons in the US are rearrested within 9 years. Re-entry peer mentorship is key to fostering successful reintegration. Mentors with lived experience provide guidance, trust, & resources needed to reduce recidivism & foster successful re-entry.
Rep @kadyn_wittman talks of serving the district where the Penitentiary is located. She wants to see better programs for those released to lower reoffending.
This is absolutely devastating. Amber Thurman waited 20 hours for doctors to finally operate on her spreading infection, sinking blood pressure, and failing organs. By then, it was too late. If she had access to timely care, she would still be here. Abortion bans kill people.
At least two women's deaths have been officially found "preventable" after they couldn’t access legal abortions in their state and timely medical care, ProPublica has found. There are almost certainly others. propublica.org/article/georgi…
Amber Nicole Thurman was killed by Georgia's abortion ban. She died in a hospital, surrounded by medical providers who could have saved her life. This is what abortion bans do. propublica.org/article/georgi…
🎉🎉🎉 this is FANTASTIC news!
Amazing news: North Dakota's near-total abortion ban has been struck down! North Dakotans deserve the freedom to make deeply personal health care decisions without interference from government extremists. apnews.com/article/north-…
With an out-of-state petitioner angling to mandate prayer in South Dakota schools, some consider it a misuse of the state ballot measure system. That includes the state ACLU chapter. sdpb.org/politics/2024-…

Rep. @kadyn_wittman sees Amendment F as an attempt to water down what South Dakotans passed in 2022. “I voted for Medicaid expansion before I was a legislator, so I’m offended by the insinuation that I did not understand what I was voting for," she said. sdnewswatch.org/south-dakota-m…
Amazing to hear a traditional Lakota introduction on the floor of the #DNC. 🫶🏽 Well done South Dakota!
We can reduce incarceration in SD if we're willing to put in the work & elect committed, visionary leaders. This is what happens when we don't. argusleader.com/story/news/pol…
