|
Dear John,
I’m writing to you this week from Chicago, where I’m in town for the Democratic National Convention. As campaigning for November’s elections begins in earnest, it’s becoming more apparent than ever that women’s rights are on the ballot—and that women are voting as if their lives depend on it.
With so much at stake—and in the face of a mainstream media that often neglects to fully cover issues that matter to feminists—we’re here to help. From now until November, you’ll find all the latest elections updates at the top of your inbox on Wednesday mornings in our Ms. Memo—we’ll cover everything from the races that will significantly impact abortion, including state legislative and Supreme Court races, to the races for Congress, the Senate and, of course, the presidency. Our reporters are working now to provide you the most informative and compelling content and action advice. We’ll showcase what’s at stake and how the outcomes of these elections will affect our lives and future. (And, if you like what you see, forward this email to a friend!)
—Kathy Spillar, executive editor |
