John,
Earlier this week, we announced Jessica Mackler as the new president of EMILYs List!
Jessica is taking the helm at a moment when our mission — electing Democratic pro-choice women — is more essential than ever. And she's just the woman for the job: She has spent her entire career waging tough battles in Democratic politics, no matter how steep the odds or hostile the landscape.
And the political landscape of 2024 is nothing if not hostile to women candidates and reproductive rights. But we know that our millions-strong pro-choice community is ready to meet the moment — and Jessica knows it, too.
"There is a fire of outrage in women all over the country since Roe v. Wade was overturned and Republicans enacted abortion bans all over the country," she said. "Women will not be controlled by politicians who know nothing about their bodies and care even less about their lives. This is the moment that EMILYs List is ready to meet — and so am I. After all, it was a generation of pissed-off women that got together and founded EMILYs List almost 40 years ago."
If you're as excited as we are about this new chapter in EMILYs List history, you can sign the card to congratulate Jessica on her new role today:
Thank you,
the EMILYs List Digital team 💙
