John—

There are just a few hours left to help us hit our $50,000 Giving Tuesday goal by making your gift before the clock strikes midnight tonight.
At the National Women’s Law Center we fundamentally believe in justice and equality for ALL—in reproductive freedom, in the right to an education and workplace safe from harassment and discrimination, in equal pay for equal work, and so much more—and we know we aren’t alone.

Dear John,
Sometimes the future feels like a black box. Impossible to predict, and equally as impossible to imagine. Other times, it’s all too easy to see what’s coming.

With a new administration entering the White House and a new Congress filled with extremists who have already spent years attempting to roll back our rights, I’m not here to tell you the next few years will be easy. There is no question that the weeks and months to come will bring some of the most difficult challenges we’ve ever faced. But I am here to tell you that the National Women’s Law Center hasn’t shied away from a fight since it was founded in 1972, and we won’t back down now.

Let’s be ready together on day one of the new administration— make a Giving Tuesday gift to the National Women’s Law Center right now, while every dollar is matched up to $50,000. [[link removed]]
Despite the many unknowns in the months to come, there are a few things we know for certain.

It is a state of emergency for efforts to protect our reproductive rights. Extremist politicians will continue to try to strip away access to safe, life-saving care, including abortion care, pregnancy care, and birth control, and may even try to ban abortion nationwide, even in states where abortion rights are currently protected.

Students are under attack. Efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, roll back Title IX protections, and impose book bans and other censorship in schools will jeopardize the right of students—especially women and girls, students of color, LGBTQI+ students, pregnant and parenting students, disabled students, and students from low-income families—to learn in safe and inclusive schools, without fear of harassment and discrimination.

And the biggest, most important one: the future is unwritten.

What we do next will make a difference. In state after state, millions of voters in November supported protecting and expanding access to abortion. They defended funding for public schools and demanded policies that would make caregiving more affordable and workplaces safer. Now is not the time to back down—it’s the time to get loud.

The National Women’s Law Center is ready to take these fights to the courts, to the streets, and to the halls of Congress. Are you? Make your gift before the match expires at midnight tonight. [[link removed]]

In hope and solidarity,
