Hey John,
At this time last year, we were standing outside of Matthew Kacsmaryk’s kangaroo court as he tossed aside legal precedent, suspending FDA approval of a medication for the first time. Kacsmaryk's decision, influenced by his anti-abortion zealotry, labeled providers as "abortionists" and referred to fetuses as "unborn humans."
He did this because he is, in fact, an anti-abortion advocate. That’s why he has his job. That’s why the judges on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals have theirs. It’s why much of the Supreme Court has theirs.

Lindsay is a registered nurse in a state with a total abortion ban. Courtney is a reproductive rights activist from Amarillo, TX. Together, we co-founded Amarillo Reproductive Freedom Alliance. We know the devastating impact these legal decisions will have on our communities. This is not what the people want. Our courts are not working in service of democracy, they are working to advance an agenda that cannot win at the ballot box. We won’t let them win.
We were both there on day one of the protest against this sham lawsuit, and a week from today, we’ll be representing Amarillo in Washington D.C., as oral arguments move forward. And, like all of you, we’ll be in the streets until true reproductive freedom is accessible for everyone. Are you with us?
In struggle and community,
Lindsay London & Courtney Brown,
Co-Founders, Amarillo Reproductive Freedom Alliance
