John,

Happy Juneteenth, Blue Amp Action community! 
 
It's fitting that today's our last chance to ensure the protection of abortion rights for over 8,600,000 Virginians, a state once the heart of the Old Confederacy.
 
We celebrate Juneteenth because in another Confederate state (Texas), on June 19th 1865, Union General Gordon Granger announced that Slaves were freeToday, we fight similar Southern authoritarians who seek to deny history & make women second class citizens by taking away the very right to control their own bodies.
 
 
It's no coincidence the only abortion banning "Democrat," Joe Morrissey, has the support of the "old boys network," even though he did jail time for a relationship with a 17-yr old while in his 50s. Or that he's been challenged by an incredible Black woman, former Delegate, Lashrecse Aird, who promised she won't allow women's bodies to be pawns in the political games of conservative white men. 
 
Per HuffPost;
 
 
Yet, we have only til tomorrow to ensure millions of VA women retain their right to choose. So let's honor Juneteenth's legacy and the courage of Lashrecsce Aird by electing her and doubling our pro-choice margin in the State Senate. 
 
 
Thank you for fighting to move never let them take our constitutional rights.

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
