John,

Donald and J.D. Vance aren’t just the most anti-woman, anti-democratic GOP ticket in history — they’re plain weird.

While most Americans are worried about putting dinner on the table, Donald and Vance are busy complaining that “childless cat ladies” are the real problem facing America. And they’re not just going after people who don’t have kids — they’re trying to control our personal decisions about pregnancy and parenthood entirely.

In Donald and Vance’s America, families like mine would be under attack. I’m a “cat lady” who is lucky enough to have a human child thanks to fertility treatments. But because of my uncle’s work to pack our courts with extremist judges that led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade and abortion bans across the country, right-wing activists and lawmakers are now looking to restrict access to IVF and other fertility treatments next.

These are scary times, but it’s good to know where everyone stands.

I stand with the women of America to protect our reproductive rights and bodily autonomy. So do Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Walz has spoken openly about how he and his wife conceived their two children through fertility treatments. This fight is also personal to him.

We know where Donald and Vance stand. And we need to make sure neither of them gets anywhere near the Oval Office. Pitch in a split donation between Democracy Defense Fund and Blue Amp Action so that we can elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, flip the House, and defend the Senate!

Last year, after Ohio voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to protect reproductive rights, Vance called the people’s decision a “gut punch.”

We have the numbers. We can turn out millions of voters across the country who are ready to fight for our right to make our own decisions about our bodies and our families. So, this Election Day, let’s give Vance and Donald a gut punch they’ll remember.

In solidarity,

Dr. Mary L. Trump (and my cats Linden and Cap)

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
