Stand UP, Speak OUT - Know Your Rights

BC Voices at Lush Cosmetics

The fight for equality is far from over, and the time to raise our voices is now. As Election Day approaches, critical issues are on the ballot, and your participation is more important than ever.

BC Voices and Lush Cosmetics are teaming up for a special in-store event this Saturday, October 26 at Lush Upper West Side. This is a chance to learn about the history of women’s fight for equality, explore what’s at stake in this election, and discover how you can get involved in shaping the future of women’s rights.

Proposition 1, a key amendment to the state constitution, is on the ballot. This amendment would protect against discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity, while also safeguarding reproductive freedoms. Understanding this proposition and other critical issues is essential before we cast our votes.
