John,

Last week, the COURIER team in Michigan exposed Project 2025 , a plan by the Republican party for the presidency if a Republican wins this November.

The project includes a convoluted plan to ban abortion nationwide:

The 'Gander, February 13, 2024

The gist of Project 2025 is that right-wing Republicans want to use a little-known and currently unenforced law – The Comstock Act – to make it illegal to ship “anything designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion” across state lines. The new interpretation of the law would criminalize shipping abortion medications and potentially medical equipment. Distressingly, it would also apply in states like Michigan, where abortion is legal and even constitutionally protected.

After voting overwhelmingly to enshrine reproductive rights into Michigan’s constitution, Michiganders have a right to know about right-wing efforts to take away their freedom.

That’s why we’re proud of The ‘Gander being one of the only local news organizations in the state to cover this important story.

Our newsroom The ‘Gander focuses on the facts and then makes critical reporting freely available to communities in Michigan who don’t have access to trustworthy local news. Can you chip in $10 to fuel our work if you already support our mission? [[link removed]]

Our coverage of reproductive rights in Michigan is nothing new. Since the right-wing Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade , The ‘Gander has relentlessly reported on Michigan’s push to increase abortion access – and the ensuing right-wing resistance.

We know our mission to expose right-wing misinformation and election schemes is working because we tested it!

In an experiment conducted by our research team during the 2022 midterm elections, we found that individuals who saw our factual stories on abortion rights were more likely to support Michigan’s Prop. 3, the law enshrining reproductive freedom into Michigan’s constitution.

With the 2024 elections in full swing and abortion rights hanging in the balance, we must continue these efforts in our local newsrooms across the country. Please consider donating $10 to fuel our work if you can. [[link removed]]
