John,
Before I joined EMILYs List as vice president of Digital, I worked in Georgia politics. We fought hard and secured historic wins that turned Georgia from red to purple, but as we told you in Tuesday's email, progress is not assured. True democracy and true freedom are not possible as long as the anti-choice, anti-democracy Republican Party holds governorships and majorities in state legislatures.
That's where we come in. EMILYs List is hard at work supporting women in state, local, and federal races all over the country. If you'd like to support that work and STOP abortion bans and the Republicans behind them in their tracks, please donate before our End-of-Month deadline:

John,
The news just broke: Georgia's Supreme Court voted to UPHOLD the state's dangerous, cruel abortion ban. Here's the simple truth: pregnant bodies are less safe in states with abortion bans. This ban will endanger the lives of Georgians. Period.
Black women in Georgia are more than twice as likely to die during and after pregnancy, and the state has one of the highest overall rates of maternal mortality in the nation. When Republicans like the ones who wrote, passed, and argued in court for this ban call themselves "pro-life," they are lying.
It's easy to feel hopeless when our fundamental rights are destroyed. But there is a way to fight back. We can elect Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ballot, in Georgia and everywhere, who will protect our rights and GROW our freedom — instead of limiting it.
If you'd like to support the work of electing women fighting for reproductive freedom, please donate to EMILYs List today:
