This email discusses police brutality and murder. It is important and contains
resources for you to support Black women-led groups doing critical reproductive
justice work and building the political power of Black women, but we urge you to
also take care of yourselves.
John—
Each and every one of us must join the fight to end systemic racism and
white supremacy in this country — because there can be no reproductive
freedom without freedom from tyranny and oppression. This week, we began
sharing resources for NARAL Pro-Choice America members like you,
John, to
take action that will create real change.
Take this opportunity to join in solidarity with the Black women-led
organizations fighting for racial justice, reproductive justice, and
structural reform today.

John—
It’s been twelve days since police officers murdered George Floyd in
Minneapolis. Twelve days since millions of people started taking to the
streets to demand justice for him, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony
McDade, and the lives of countless other Black people taken by racist
violence.
Now is the time for change. Now is the time to demand accountability. Now
is the time to channel our outrage into action, and to work toward a free
and just society.
As a historically white organization, we recognize that it is not NARAL’s
place to lead this fight, but instead to listen and follow the lead of
Black organizers. It’s crucial — especially in this moment and after the
smoke clears — that we uplift the leadership and the voices of Black women
who have long been doing the work to fight for racial justice,
reproductive justice, and structural reform.

SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, In Our Own
Voice: The National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, and Higher
Heights for America to fund the critical work being done to achieve full
reproductive justice and build the political power of Black women »
SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, led by Monica
Simpson, strengthens and amplifies the collective voices of Indigenous
women and women of color to achieve reproductive justice by eradicating
reproductive oppression and securing human rights.
In Our Own Voice: The National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda,
led by Marcela Howell, uplifts the voices of Black women at the national
and regional level, focusing on abortion rights and access, contraceptive
equity, and comprehensive sex education.
Higher Heights for America, led by Glynda Carr, is the only national
organization providing Black women with a political home exclusively
dedicated to expanding Black women’s elected representation, voting
participation, and advancing progressive policies.
[ [link removed] ]If you can, John, join us in supporting these Black women-led
organizations by pitching in $15 so they can continue doing
crucial work in this moment. 100% of your donation will go directly to
these groups »
We’re committed to this work — because it’s the only way to create a truly
just and free world for every body. There can be no reproductive freedom
without freedom from tyranny and oppression.
In the coming days, we’ll keep sending you resources, actions, and
opportunities to follow through on this commitment. We’re in this fight
together. We’ll be there every step of the way. It won’t take a day or a
week. It’s a lifelong commitment, and we hope you will make it with us.
In solidarity,
The NARAL Pro-Choice America Team
