i'm not eligible to vote
Not eligible to vote? We feel your pain! But that doesn’t mean you can’t play your part in repealing the 8th Amendment. Here are four ways you can help.
1. Phone home
Don't assume that you friend and family back home will vote the same way as you would - call them and talk to them about it.
Many of us feel free to wax lyrical about our opinions on abortion rights on Facebook or Twitter, but if the marriage equality referendum taught us anything, it’s that we need to take these conversations offline and onto doorsteps and into people’s homes.
We know it can be daunting, but here are some tips and talking points to get you started.

2. Get involved
