Dear John,

Lead with Lillian is less than two weeks away! We're excited to share that NC Attorney General and candidate for Governor Josh Stein will be sharing a special video message with us at the event.

As a state senator and AG, Josh has staunchly defended our access to reproductive healthcare, while his opponent Mark Robinson recently said he wants abortion to be illegal at "zero" weeks. We must elect not only Josh, but also our pro-choice, progressive Featured Candidates to the legislature so we can break the Republican supermajority and uphold his vetoes as Governor. Protecting our access in NC is critical for the entire South as the majority of our neighboring states have passed total or nearly total abortion bans.

Will you join us at our annual Lead with Lillian event on September 29th to keep the momentum going and support our Featured Candidates? We'll be hearing not only from AG Stein, but also a video message from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, plus Lt. Governor candidate Rachel Hunt will be speaking!

Sponsorships and tickets are available now! 

Contributions to Lead with Lillian are still being matched, now up to $17,500 thanks to our generous donors. Your donation helps us provide our signature 360-degree support to our Featured Candidates, including trainings, funding, and emotional support. If you can't attend the event, we can use your tickets as scholarship tickets for students and others who'd like to join us.

Let's keep working together with our eyes on Election Day! I hope to see you at Lead with Lillian on Sept. 29.

In solidarity,

Montica Talmadge

Interim Executive Director
