John, I am furious and need your help:

North Carolina Republicans have introduced an extreme abortion ban that would outlaw abortions after 12 weeks.

Democratic Governor Roy Cooper has already sworn to veto this horrific bill, but with their new super majority in both the House and Senate, Republicans could override his veto and pass this dangerous legislation. That is, unless we make our voices heard and stop even one legislator from backing this bill.

We will NOT let our voices be silenced or our bodies be controlled! Democrats are ready to fight back, but I need you to stand with us to oust these anti-choice Republicans. And right now, that means donating whatever you can to fund progressive campaigns and win.

John, abortion rights are personal to me.

I underwent fertility treatments for over a year before becoming pregnant with my beautiful daughter Aaliyah.

During that time, I suffered an ectopic pregnancy and had to make the difficult decision to have an abortion to save my life.

I am here today because of my ability to CHOOSE what I needed to do with my body.

The right to choose should not be in the hands of our government officials, but rather our own.

In solidarity,

Nida Allam
