Hi John xxxxxx,

We know you’re receiving countless emails from candidates running at the top of the ticket (Senate, President, etc…) or congressional candidates running in blue or purple states. We want to take a moment to encourage you to consider the red/abortion ban states this election season. The women running in these states, and the women who LIVE in these states, need our help – and the situation is dire.

Today, we are emailing about a very special candidate running for office in an abortion-ban state. Her name is Erika Robinson-Watkins, and she’s running for a seat in the Indiana State House.

In 2022, Indiana passed one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the nation, severely limiting women's access to essential healthcare services. Erika’s opponent voted in favor of the ban. In fact, he believes that abortion should be DENIED even in cases of rape and incest.

Tonight is the LAST end-of-month fundraising deadline ahead of Election Day. Will you split a $20.24 or more donation to help ensure Erika’s campaign is able to hit their goal? With Election Day coming up in a matter of days, she cannot afford to fall short →

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be processed immediately and automatically split between Her Bold Move and Erika Robinson-Watkins:

The women of Indiana have experienced vicious attacks on abortion access over the past few years, and Erika’s extremist right-wing opponent is part of the problem. From attempts to restrict access to contraception to the persistent gender wage gap, the women of Indiana deserve better.

While Republicans in Indiana claim that their abortion ban comes with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother, these exceptions come with major limitations, and their ambiguity has made it impossible for doctors to properly treat women's needs in this state. Not to mention, these exceptions only apply to the first 10 weeks of pregnancy!

If she wins, here is what Erika plans to do to defend women's rights:

✅ Fight to restore reproductive freedom and ensure access to comprehensive healthcare services for women.
✅ Advocate for equal pay legislation and policies that promote women's economic security.
✅ Support measures to combat gender-based violence and discrimination.
✅ Promote women's representation in leadership roles across all sectors.

Additionally, here is what she has to say about her run for House District 4:

“As a woman of color running for a seat that has been exclusively held by men for over three decades, I deeply understand the critical importance of having women's voices in places where decisions are made. The recent assault on women's reproductive rights in Indiana - spearheaded by a male-dominated legislature - underscores the urgent need for change in our political representation.”

After suffering under the leadership of an anti-abortion extremist, Erika is ready to undo his damage and restore abortion access in the state. But she cannot do it alone. Please rush a split donation of $20.24 or more before MIDNIGHT →

Onward,

Anna Sophia Rowe
