Dear Friend,
I am writing to you in a time of deep grief, heavy pain, and powerful uprising. My heart goes out in particular to our members in the Black community, along with my commitment to act, every day, to disrupt and dismantle white supremacy. As a reproductive justice organization, URGE recognizes that our movement was started by Black women, and that we cannot have reproductive justice without Black liberation.
This Friday, we hope you will join us to learn more about how you can support Black liberation at our Reproductive Justice Townhall: Defending Black Bodies <[link removed]>. This event was created by and will be led by Black Reproductive Justice leaders but is open to ALL who want to support Black liberation and reproductive justice.

URGE is made up of, and led by, young folks, Black people, non-Black people of color, queer, trans, and nonbinary folks and people living at the intersections of those identities. We feel the pain of systemic racism and gender-based violence. We fear for our loved ones whose lives are threatened just by existing. And we stand with #BlackLivesMatter and the Movement For Black Lives in working to dismantle white supremacy and white supremacist systems like the police, prisons, and jails.
May George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and the countless Black lives lost to white supremacist violence rest in power, and may their loved ones receive the peace and justice they deserve. Please take care of yourselves and each other, and keep fighting for our shared vision of reproductive justice, liberation, and future where we all can thrive.
En Solidaridad, <[link removed]>
