John,
It's clear as day that Democrats are more fired up than ever to elect pro-choice women.
We've seen Democratic pro-choice women defeat Republicans nationwide; anti-choice ballot initiatives have been overwhelmingly rejected by voters in not-so-blue states like Kansas and Ohio; Wisconsin elected pro-choice champion Janet Protasiewicz to their state Supreme Court (with EMILYs List's support!); and state leaders are fighting hard to pass pro-choice ballot measures.
I've seen this kind of grassroots energy before — back in 1992. That was the year EMILYs List grew our membership by 600%, elected four new women to the Senate, and elected 20 to the House. It quickly became known as the "Year of the Woman."
Well, guess what? I think 2024 is about to be the "Year of the Woman" all over again.
Americans overwhelmingly agree with our pro-choice values — no doubt about it. We just need more resources to recruit, train, and support candidates to make those values into policy. So I'm personally asking: Will you support EMILYs List today by chipping in toward our $150,000 End-of-Month goal?
I've seen a lot as the founder of EMILYs List. We were a much smaller organization in 1992, organizing to defeat anti-choice extremists, and women nationwide were inspired to get involved and demand better representation.
Today, it's been over a year since the ultraconservative Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and obliterated national abortion rights. Twenty-one states have banned abortion, and women across the country are enraged. And I know that, much like we did in 1992, we can turn our anger into action to elect more Democratic pro-choice women than ever.
I know we can make 2024 another "Year of the Woman," John. I know we can protect the Senate majority by electing and reelecting candidates like Elissa Slotkin, Jacky Rosen, and Tammy Baldwin, and send pro-choice champions like Yadira Caraveo, Mary Peltola, and Lauren Underwood to take back the House — but we need your help.
So that's why I'm asking, John: Will you donate to help hit our $150,000 End-of-Month goal, elect Democratic pro-choice women, and restore abortion access across the country?
