Dear John,
As this challenging year draws to a close, I want to thank you for your support of PRH and our culture-shifting physician advocacy. Thanks to you, we’ve built a powerful network of outspoken doctors who are dismantling barriers to abortion and all reproductive health care, working to ensure patients can access the compassionate, lifesaving medical care they deserve, day after day.
In a year marked by heartbreaking stories of preventable harm and escalating attacks on bodily autonomy, your support has fueled critical progress in protecting and advancing reproductive health, rights, and justice, including: |
-
Provided vital frontline perspective and analysis on the far-reaching impacts of abortion bans in congressional testimony, national and local media, and in court filings.
-
Shared expertise with federal and state lawmakers and their staff regularly on critical reproductive health issues as a catalyst for evidence-based, community-centered, and equitable health care policy.
-
Filed amicus briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court to defend the FDA’s approval of mifepristone—essential for medication abortion—and to protect access to emergency abortion care, which extremists continue to threaten with devastating consequences.
-
Collaborated with movement partners in multifaceted efforts to decriminalize abortion care through provider skills-building, education, and organizing with the goal of halting criminalization and policing in medicine.
-
Graduated our 2024 class of 32 physician Fellows in June, who met with 30 congressional offices, appeared in 100+ media pieces, engaged in state and local coalitions, and more. Our alumni network now totals 525 advocates working in 49 states and Puerto Rico.
|
While we plan for an uncertain future, we continue to celebrate everything we have now and will fight to maintain; we will not fold, bend, or break to pressures of the incoming administration.
From all of us at PRH, thank you for all that you do. Your compassion, resilience, and commitment to justice inspire us every day. We couldn’t do this work without you. With gratitude, |
