Remember “states’ rights”
John?

For decades, Republicans argued that each state should be allowed to
decide whether to ban abortion individually. They said that voters should
be able to decide the issue for their own states and communities.

But one year to the day after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme
Court’s new conservative supermajority, it’s clear that all of that was a
lie.

Right-wing Republicans in states like Florida are passing extreme abortion
bans and then making it harder to vote in an attempt to stop voters from
kicking them out of office. Their priority isn’t “states’ rights,” it’s
enacting extreme, unpopular abortion bans through any means necessary.

battleground states have been diligently covering the fight for abortion
rights, but they can’t do their work without your support. Will you pitch
in $5 or anything you can today to help fund reliable local
journalism like ours?

Over and over again, we’ve seen what happens when voters head to the polls
armed with the truth about reproductive rights — and it’s not pretty for
anti-abortion Republicans.

Last year in Michigan, voters overwhelmingly approved Proposal 3 to
establish the right to reproductive freedom in the state constitution. And
a novel experiment found that Michiganders were more likely to oppose
abortion bans after reading reports from The Gander, our local Michigan
newsroom:

So it’s no wonder that Republicans are working so hard to stop voters from
making their voices heard. And it’s critical that local newsrooms like The
Gander continue working to hold them accountable.

But with mainstream media organizations prioritizing click rates and ads
revenue over their duty to inform the public, these stories go unreported
far too often. 

That’s why Courier Newsroom is committed to reporting on state and local
issues to communities that lack other reliable sources of local news.

John, and in today’s day and
age, supporting local journalism is more important than ever. So if you
want to help us keep up our work across 8 battleground states as the fight
for abortion rights continues on, then please chip in $5 or
whatever you can today.
