Folks, today marks one year since the Supreme Court’s unjust ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and rolled back decades of progress with it. This anniversary is somber, and it’s even more frustrating to remember that before this decision came out, Mississippi residents already severely lacked access to vital reproductive health care services. But if we stick together and keep fighting, we can undo these injustices and protect reproductive freedom nationwide:
When I first founded Groundwork Project, I made it our mission to invest in states facing the most existential threats to our fundamental rights, equal justice, and democracy itself — including in Mississippi, where the Dobbs case originated. That’s because the biggest fights for our voting rights, reproductive freedom, and racial justice often start in so-called “red states” that are frequently overlooked by progressive organizations. But the truth is, when we invest in the community organizers working in these states, we win. In states previously written off as “dark red” — like Georgia, Missouri, and Alabama — local activists are winning elections, passing ballot initiatives, fighting for abortion access, and building Democratic power. These fights aren’t won overnight, but when folks like you step up and pitch in, we make progress each and every day to weaken the decades of conservative power that was built explicitly to do things like overturn Roe v. Wade. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Thank you for taking action, Joe |
