John—

While millions of people are unemployed and struggling to make ends meet
in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell is only laser-focused on one thing: confirming anti-choice
judges.^1

There are so many fights happening right now, but this one is especially
important. Federal judges receive lifetime appointments, and the Trump
administration is filling these posts at breakneck speed — thanks to the
president's cronies in the Senate, nearly 200 of Trump’s judges have been
confirmed to date.^2

It's up to us — people like you and me, who refuse to let anti-choice
extremists turn back the clock on our rights — to put a stop to the
Trump-McConnell judicial disaster. And that starts with flipping the
Senate and voting Trump out of office this November.

[ [link removed] ]We're mobilizing a nationwide campaign to protect our courts by
electing candidates committed to protecting and expanding reproductive
freedom — and kicking out those who are trying to take our rights away.
Make an urgent gift of $15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC
now to power this campaign.

During a recent appearance on a conservative radio show, McConnell made
his priorities clear: “My motto for the year is ‘leave no vacancy
behind’...That hasn’t changed. The pandemic will not prevent us from
achieving that goal.”^3

But it’s not just McConnell. In fact, Republicans have been playing a
long-game to take over our courts since the 1970s. Their focus on the
judiciary is intended to ensure that even when they’re voted out of power
in Congress or the White House, conservative judges will advance their
out-of-touch agenda by siding with Republican challenges to progressive
legislation — from enabling voter suppression to trying to ban
abortion.^4,5

To stop this judicial disaster, we need to put both Donald Trump and Mitch
McConnell out of a job. [ [link removed] ]Please, don't wait — make your gift of
$15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC now.

Here at NARAL Pro-Choice America, we're doing everything we can between
now and November 3rd to make sure candidates who champion reproductive
freedom win. We’ve already endorsed hundreds of candidates, and we're
talking to voters, organizing virtually, running ads — whatever it takes —
to beat the extremists trying to take away our rights.

We can win. But it won't be easy, and the resources we raise today will
determine how big we can go before Election Day. [ [link removed] ]Make an urgent gift of
$15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC to fight back against
Trump and McConnell's attempts to stack our courts with anti-choice
ideologues.

Thank you, again, for being a part of this movement.

Sincerely,
