The League of Women Voters of Florida (LWVFL) and Alachua County (LWVAC) worked tirelessly to get Amendment 4 (limiting government interference with abortion) on the November ballot. Now the task is to ensure that it passes with the 60% required. That takes money, and that’s what motivated LWVAC members Shayna Rich, Alison Keel, and Candy Birch, along with Candi Churchill and J. Maggio, to host a YES ON 4 fundraiser on Oct 15.
