Today, we mark a pivotal moment in history – the anniversary of the FDA’s approval of the birth control pill. This landmark victory reshaped the lives of millions of women across America.

This groundbreaking advance, first realized over six decades ago, didn’t just revolutionize healthcare; it transformed women’s roles in society, offering unprecedented autonomy over their reproductive choices.

Yet, as we celebrate this milestone, we must acknowledge the reality of today: women’s reproductive rights are still under attack. Right now, states across our nation are enacting the most extreme abortion bills and rolling back the progress that’s been made.

It is a critical time, and our fight is far from over. That's why I am reaching out to you today—not just to remember a historical achievement, but to encourage you to take urgent action. We need to elect leaders who are committed to safeguarding and advancing reproductive rights. Leaders who trust women to make their own decisions about their bodies. Leaders who understand the importance of accessible, affordable healthcare for everyone.

Can you chip in to help us support candidates who will fight for a woman’s right to make their own decisions about their bodies?

As we reflect on the progress made since the approval of the birth control pill, let us also renew our commitment to ensuring that these freedoms are protected and expanded.
