What Together for Yes does

Together for Yes is the National Civil Society Campaign to remove the Eighth Amendment from the Constitution of Ireland. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Dublin, the organization is a non-profit advocacy body co-founded and co-led by Ailbhe Smyth and Ivana Bacik. Its purpose was to coordinate and amplify public support for the repeal of Article 40.3.3 — the constitutional provision effectively restricting access to abortion in Ireland — ahead of the referendum held on 25 May 2018, in which the Irish electorate voted in favour of repeal.

Operationally, the campaign functioned as a national coalition effort rather than a product or technology business. It deployed between 11 and 50 staff during the active campaign window and raised approximately $616,979 in disclosed funding in April 2018 alone to finance final-stage voter outreach and advocacy. There are no commercial products, no pricing model, no recurring revenue mechanic, and no proprietary technology disclosed; the "product" was coordinated advocacy, public communications, and stakeholder mobilization across Irish civil society. The campaign's success was realized when the referendum passed, and its operating horizon was inherently bounded by that single political event rather than by ongoing commercial expansion.

It shares the substantive policy domain of reproductive rights and was a key stakeholder during the 2018 referendum campaign that Together for Yes led.
