Listener supported WNYC Studios.

Hi, Brian Laira here.

Up next, Brian Lairor weekend, three of our favorite segments from the week,

packaged together for you to listen to on the weekend.

So enjoy, and I'll see you back on the radio Monday at 10 a.m.

on WNYC and WNYC.org.

It's the Brian Lera Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. We'll begin today with a service for voters in New York State, and the rest of you may find this interesting, too. There's a measure on

the ballot statewide called Proposition 1, which proponents call the New York State Equal Rights Amendment.

A lot of people thought in Blue New York that this would sail through to protect women's

rights generally and abortion rights in particular in the post-row post-stop decision era, right?

But recent reporting by the New York Times and Politico and others indicates that Prop 1 might be in trouble.

There is a very organized opposition claiming things like Prop 1 would guarantee that boys could play in girls' sports leagues,

that it would enable undocumented migrants to remain in the country, and it would put senior discounts and other senior-specific services at risk

because it bans age discrimination. Younger people could say they're being discriminated against.

The opponents are also reported to be better organized than the supporters and better so far at getting

their word out. Again, Prop 1 is statewide.

There are also four other ballot questions

just for voters in New York City.

These mostly have to do with the power struggle

between Mayor Adams and City Council.

Vote yes to give more power to the mayor.

Vote no, to give more power to counsel.
