We're celebrating these major wins.
John,
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade a year ago, pro-choice voters have come out in droves to defend reproductive choice — and we're making major progress.
To keep up our momentum, we're thrilled to share that we've unlocked a RARE 200% match ahead of our End-of-Quarter deadline. Every dollar you give now will be worth twice as much to help reach our $200,000 goal before our public fundraising deadline on June 30. Will you donate now to help elect Democratic pro-choice women across the country?
John, this movement hasn't stopped fighting since the disastrous decision to overturn Roe, and we are only just starting to see the results. EMILYs List has celebrated a number of victories recently, including:
- Defeating anti-choice politicians: Lashrecse Aird, an EMILYs List-endorsed candidate, defeated the last anti-choice Democrat in the Virginia Senate last week. Lashrecse's win puts us one step closer to holding a pro-choice majority in the chamber, which is critical to protecting abortion access in the South.
- Protecting abortion access: Three states have codified Roe in their constitutions, and voters defeated ballot measures to ban abortion in Kansas and Kentucky.
- Expanding access to birth control: The FDA unanimously voted to recommend that the agency approve over-the-counter birth control, and pro-choice legislators introduced a bill to make the pill free.
- Electing pro-choice judges: Janet Protasiewicz, an EMILYs List-endorsed candidate, won her race to become a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, which means that the court could overturn the state's abortion ban.
While we're celebrating these victories, there's so much more work to be done, which is why it's so important that we take advantage of this match opportunity and hit our $200,000 goal before our big End-of-Quarter deadline.
John, please don't miss this opportunity to double your impact. Donate now to elect Democratic pro-choice women across the country:
