Dear MoveOn member,
A Trump-picked, extreme right-wing judge just issued a ruling Friday to ban on mifepristone—a safe, essential medication for abortion access.1 We will fight this ban and the immediate impact isn't clear—but what is clear is that we can't let conservative extremists and anti-abortion crusaders control our health care, autonomy, and freedom. We must take collective action now to ensure that an FDA-approved, safe, and effective drug for abortion is available to anyone that seeks it.
The ruling in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA ordering the FDA to withdraw its approval of mifepristone is unconscionable. Mifepristone—approved more than 20 years ago and used effectively by millions of people for medication abortion—is perfectly safe. Anti-abortion extremists are attempting to use the courts to ban abortion nationwide, even in states that have legal protections for abortion access.
That's why together we are asking higher courts to reverse this unprecedented and anti-abortion ruling and restore access to mifepristone. And Congress must act to protect and expand abortion access for all people.
Thanks for all you do.
–Nita, Nakia, Isbah, Kelly, and the rest of the team

Want to support MoveOn’s work? Voters just defied history and stopped a MAGA wave of extremism at the polls. But there is more work to do to end the filibuster, codify abortion rights into law, and defend our freedoms, our families, and our futures. We can accomplish all this and more, but only if we work together.
Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
