Dear team,

The re-election of Donald Trump as U.S. president has brought a wave of emotions—anger, grief, fear, and uncertainty. These feelings are valid. They must fuel our determination to stand together and fight for reproductive rights.

In the months ahead, we expect relentless attempts to undermine our progress and unity. We cannot let these efforts weaken our resolve. Together, we must defend the rights of all people. That's why your tripled Giving Tuesday gift is so important this year.

The election results signal an uphill battle: the composition of Congress may enable this administration to further erode our reproductive rights. We are fully prepared to respond to whatever challenges this administration brings, whether it’s restricting medication abortion by mail or reinstating a broader global gag rule that would disempower reproductive and human rights organizations.

I am proud to be at the Center, where we are unafraid to take on tough fights. We will use every tool at our disposal to block harmful policies, defend providers and patients, and challenge abuses of power.

The road ahead may be daunting, but together we are resilient. We need you in this fight. With your Giving Tuesday support, we will stand firm in defending reproductive rights and access to essential care.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment. Your support means everything in this critical moment.

With gratitude and resolve,

Rachana Desai Martin
Chief Government and External Relations Officer
