Dear team,

In 2013, singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton suffered an ectopic pregnancy and had to be rushed into emergency surgery to save her life. She reflects, "If that had happened to me today in the wrong state, I may not have survived. Women in the same situation are now being turned away from hospitals because of abortion bans."

Vanessa has teamed up with the Center and re-recorded her Grammy-nominated hit song "A Thousand Miles", sharing her personal story to raise awareness about the urgent need to fight for reproductive freedom.

Last year, 171,000 people were forced to travel hundreds—sometimes thousands—of miles for essential abortion care due to restrictive state laws. Many thousands more weren't able to make that journey.

We invite you to join us in this critical campaign—watch the video, share it with your community, and stand with us as we demand that no one should be forced to travel for health care they should be able to receive at home.

Together, with your support, we can keep fighting for a future where everyone’s reproductive freedom is protected.

Thank you for being with us on this journey.

Warmly,

Nancy Northup
President & CEO
