Friend,
Population Connection Action Fund will relaunch the #Fight4HER (Health, Empowerment, and Rights) campaign on January 28th, 2024 … are you ready?
You might just be the key to our success next year as we ramp back up to elect family planning champions to office and repeal the Global Gag Rule forever!
#Fight4HER mobilizes grassroots support for candidates and policies that aim to increase access to family planning for everyone, everywhere. This powerful campaign also seeks to smash any and all barriers limiting access to reproductive health care—such as the odious Global Gag Rule.
The Global Gag Rule has been repeatedly imposed by Republican presidents to prevent women abroad from obtaining safe, legal abortion. In practice, it closes reputable clinics, sends women to back alleys, and limits regular access to medical care. The Global Gag Rule was rescinded by President Joe Biden, and we’re fighting to prevent it from ever being enacted again by a future president. You can help.
Today, 218 million women living in developing countries report an unmet need for family planning. In those same countries, there are 111 million unintended pregnancies each year. We’re adding one billion people to the planet every dozen years, stretching natural resources, contributing to global warming, and making life more precarious for those already living on the edge.
There is one step we can take that will improve people’s lives, help alleviate poverty, and protect our planet: ensuring universal access to family planning and reproductive health care.
That’s where #Fight4HER—and YOU—come in! Will you do two things to kick off this campaign?
Add your name to the #Fight4HER [[link removed]] , urging your members of Congress to lend support to the Global Health, Empowerment, and Rights (HER) Act, which will permanently repeal the Global Gag Rule.
Make a gift in support of the #Fight4HER campaign . [[link removed]] We’ve set an ambitious $300,000 fundraising goal. Will you give $25.00 today? [[link removed]]
Together, we’ll work in battleground districts around the country to elect candidates who will fight for reproductive health and rights, to increase U.S. aid for international family planning providers, and to educate more citizens about the impact U.S. foreign policy has on the lives of people around the world.
I hope you’ll lend your support today. None of this work is possible without you.
With high hopes,
