Friend –

Last year, we saw the conservative Supreme Court turn back the clock on our right to abortion by overturning Roe v. Wade – abandoning 50 years of precedent that had ensured that millions of people had the right to decide if and when they wanted to be pregnant.

Last week, the fallout from that decision continued as a Trump-appointed Texas judge issued a ruling attempting to block the FDA's decades-old approval of mifepristone – one of two drugs used in medication abortion care. If the decision is allowed to take effect, access to abortion care will be severely compromised in every state across the country – a move that could have devastating consequences on millions of people's lives.

The ACLU is taking swift and immediate action – and I'm reaching out to ask for your urgent support in this work. We're working with partners to respond to this ruling with every tool at our disposal and to mobilize people across the country to send the clear message that we won't let this attack go by without fierce backlash.

Defend abortion access

If we're going to bring the full resources of the ACLU to this challenge – and there is no question that we must – we need your urgent support.

ACLU Supporter, confronting this kind of all-out assault on reproductive rights and people's civil liberties requires us to fight back every time and everywhere. With your gift today, we'll be there across the nation – responding on all fronts:

• In the courts to block state abortion bans
• In state legislatures to defeat state abortion bans and to pass protective state legislation to expand access to care
• In the streets as we mobilize people around the country to demonstrate their support for our abortion rights

At this critical time for the future of reproductive freedom and all of our civil liberties, the ACLU has a unique and irreplaceable role to play. And so do you.

Please, make your immediate and generous gift today.

The ACLU has been showing up for abortion rights for decades. And our fight for reproductive freedom will continue until every person can access the essential care they need.

Thanks for everything you do,
