On the Anniversary of Overturn Roe v. Wade, CHC BOLD PAC Releases A Comprehensive BOLD Translate Toolkit on Reproductive Rights
This BOLD Translate toolkit is an open access Spanish translation tool for Democratic campaigns and activists, focused on the Dos and Don’ts of translating reproductive rights
Washington, D.C. - Today marks the second anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. With recent state Supreme Court rulings in Arizona and Florida that restrict abortion access, safe and universal access to abortion has become a top issue for Latina voters in the 2024 electoral cycle. To win Latino votes, we must meet them where they are. That means communicating about reproductive rights in a culturally competent way and avoiding common Spanish mistranslations of this critical issue.
When communicating with Latino voters, we must recognize that they are not a monolith, nor is their approach to reproductive healthcare and abortion. It is important to keep in mind that Latinas come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, religious traditions, and countries of origin. Time and again polling has confirmed that Latinos want their reproductive freedom, including access to abortion, regardless of their personal beliefs on the matter.
This comprehensive BOLD Translate toolkit will focus on the correct Spanish translations for a variety of issues related to reproductive rights. It is crucial that voters understand that limiting access to reproductive healthcare extends far beyond just abortion and can also result in restricting access to contraception, prenatal care, cancer screenings, and other preventive health services.
Last summer we released our first part of this toolkit highlighting reproductive healthcare, overturned, pro-choice, and anti-choice messaging guidance. This extension will provide messaging guidance and key statistics on a variety of topics such as IVF and contraception to the Latino community, allowing us to educate our community about how Democrats are delivering for Latinos.
BOLD Translate is part of BOLD PAC’s “Our Lucha” initiative, a wide-ranging initiative that puts BOLD PAC at the forefront of the fight for every Latino vote.
