John,
The goal of the MAGA Republicans’ War on Women, underscored by the recent Arizona Supreme court decision banning abortion, is crystal clear: Put women back in the kitchen... place them under surveillance... force them to have more babies and keep them misinformed, desperate and poor.
These extremists are from another century. They want to roll back the clock. Use the power of government to attack and destroy women’s rights and freedoms.
Well, it’s too late. We’re not giving up. We know our power. We have the votes ... We’re not going back! [[link removed]]
I’ve just mailed you an urgent letter detailing how Vote for Equality, the political action arm of Feminist Majority is racing to assemble the most effective team of Campus Organizers to deliver a massive and strategic student vote.
We’re on track to recruit, train and mobilize a huge force of Campus Organizers for the 2024 elections in key Battleground States .

The Harsh Realities Women Face:
Teenage rape survivors are being forced into motherhood. Pregnant women are compelled to flee their home state to receive proper reproductive health care or face bleeding out in hospital parking lots. The abortion pill, IVF, and even birth control are all now on the chopping block.
National Mobilization Efforts:
Across the nation, we’re scaling up our efforts by deploying an extensive network of Campus Organizers, our largest student voter mobilization to date. These organizers are not only spreading awareness but are also pivotal in driving voter registration and turnout among young voters—a demographic crucial in tipping the scales in previous elections. They are hosting workshops, leading informational campaigns, and facilitating discussions on campuses to ensure that students are not only aware but are also empowered to act against these regressive policies.
Our organizers are equipped with comprehensive voter education tools that explain the nuances of reproductive rights, the significant impact of this election on these rights, and detailed voting procedures.
They will be trained to navigate and counter voter suppression tactics that disproportionately affect young and minority voters.
In Arizona ... our response has been swift and robust. Following the alarming Supreme Court decision, we launched the Arizona Emergency Mobilization to amplify our impact. This initiative focuses on:
Expanding Voter Education : Our teams are intensively working to educate Arizonans about what's at stake, particularly focusing on the implications of the abortion ban, how it affects women's health and autonomy, and the importance of voting to place the right to safe, legal abortion in that state’s constitution in November.
Increasing Voter Access : We are ensuring that all potential voters have access to the resources they need to vote, including transportation to polling places, information on mail-in ballots, and guidance on navigating voter ID laws.
Training and Resources : Every Campus Organizer receives specialized training tailored to Arizona’s specific electoral challenges. This includes legal training to understand the state’s election laws and “how to” communication strategies to combat misinformation. Organizers are also being provided with signs, handouts, and digital content to increase visibility and impact.
Not Just Arizona! We will also launch and build similar mobilizations in these additional Battleground States: Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and North Carolina.
Mobilizing a Nationwide Groundswell of Support
We are leveraging social media platforms, community events, and local media to reach a broad audience on college and university campuses. Our message is clear: the fight for women's rights is now.
WE’RE NOT GOING BACK! [[link removed]] Please help us fight back now!
