Dear Health Advocates,



As the 5th Circuit is preparing to hear arguments on May 17 regarding the Mifepristone case, it's important that we stay engaged and speak up for access to lifesaving medications. These arguments follow the Supreme Court's stay on the Fifth Circuit Appeals Court decision. Please continue to sign and share our People's Brief to Protect Mifepristone, which you can find under Action Items. Additional resources, events, and items are also below:
