John, I needed to reach out again in case you missed my urgent message from yesterday.
The far-right Republican Party overrode my veto — forcing through their abortion ban. We cannot afford to give up now. We HAVE to continue fighting for our rights and freedoms.
It’s never been more important for us to lay the groundwork to defeat the GOP in the 2024 elections. Read my message below, and, if you’re able, consider donating $25 or any amount to power our work.
Thank you,
Roy Cooper

Subject: This is not the end of our fight (veto update)
John,
Republicans in the General Assembly just voted to override my veto and enact their radical abortion ban.
Just one Republican vote would have prevented an override but not a single one stepped up. Now North Carolinians understand fully that Republicans are unified in their attacks against women’s reproductive freedom. I will do everything I can from my executive position to blunt the trauma of this new law.
They did this knowing strong majorities of North Carolinians don’t want right-wing politicians in the exam room with women and their doctors.
I know this is a difficult moment, John. I know that many of us across the state worked hard to fight against this ban. I know that many North Carolinians have been betrayed by their elected leaders, who broke their promises to protect women’s reproductive freedom.
But I also know that right now, they’re counting on you to give up. They think they’ve won this and they’re counting on us all throwing up our hands and giving up.
We can’t afford to do that, John. We WILL stay in this fight — because North Carolinians deserve so much better than the extremist Republican Party dictating our rights.
The best way to solve this is at the ballot box. We absolutely have to break the supermajority in 2024.
I’m continuing to work to elect Democrats who we can trust to fight to restore reproductive rights. We need to power them to victory at every level of government all across the state, and I’m relying on grassroots supporters like you to make it possible.
That’s why I’m personally asking you to contribute whatever you can to help us build out our teams to help Democrats win in North Carolina. Click here to donate >>>
