Hi there,
A New York doctor was recently indicted by a Louisiana grand jury for prescribing an abortion pill to a young minor (under the supervision of her mother) across state lines.
Louisiana has a total abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. Under their state law, doctors face penalties of up to 15 years in prison and $200,000 in fines for facilitating an abortion. Since the state’s ban went into effect, pregnant women and children have been given “risky, unnecessary surgeries, denied treatment for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, and forced to wait until their life is at risk before getting the care they need.” (NPR)
Louisiana’s State Legislature is 77% male lawmakers – one of the most underrepresented state governments for women in the country.
We are no longer accepting the dangerous underrepresentation that has given rooms full of men the power to make laws about OUR bodies. We are working tirelessly to get more women elected. Help us chip away at male GOP supermajorities across the country by donating $25 today.

Louisiana has some of the HIGHEST rates of maternal mortality and morbidity in the nation. It is dangerous to be a woman in a red state – and there is virtually no infrastructure in place to change that. The Democratic party, most progressive orgs, and virtually all other institutional funders dedicated to getting more women in office are directing their resources to – you guessed it – blue and purple states.
The reason for that is understandable. They want to put their money behind “winnable” races and they don’t believe red states have winnable seats worth fighting for.
But here’s the thing: in 2024, 44% of our Her Bold Move victories happened in red states.
That is why we at Her Bold Move have created a plan to support women candidates in underserved races and build infrastructure in underserved places. Because women across the country are counting on us – and they deserve real representation in their government. It’s our job to make that happen.
We won’t leave any women behind – women in red states need our help urgently. You can join our fight today by donating $25 or more right now. →

Her Bold Move
Her Bold Move is the fastest-growing support network for women running for office in the United States. Since our founding in 2020, we have supported hundreds of pro-choice, pro-women women candidates across 42 states and counting. As abortion bans and other dangerous laws about women tend to get passed in states with the lowest representation numbers for women in government (4%, 11%, 12%....) we've made it our mission to break the anti-choice male supermajorities in those state legislatures.
