John,

Maine Gov. Janet Mills didn't lie — she saw Donald Trump in court and she WON.

Gov. Mills refused to comply with Trump's order barring Maine trans kids from playing sports. Consequently, the U.S. Department of Agriculture suspended all funding for a child nutrition program in Maine. It was petty, political revenge.

So, Gov. Mills took the Trump administration to court — ultimately securing a huge victory earlier this month when the Trump administration backed down and stopped cutting off funding for Maine's nutrition program.

We need more leaders like Gov. Mills. Bullies back down when you fight back.

Donate now to help elect more fearless Democratic pro-choice women leaders:

John,

Right now, the Trump administration isn't just testing the waters. It's launching a full-on assault on our rights.

State by state. Law by law.

But EMILYs List women are making one thing crystal clear: We will not be silent. And we will not stand down.

"If you're getting bullied and you don't respond with force, the bully's going to win — always." — Gov. Maura Healey (MA)

"I'm not gonna stand silent while [Trump] threatens that in my state." — Sen. Elissa Slotkin (MI)

"We're not going to sit idly by and let our rights be attacked." — Gov. Kathy Hochul (NY)

"I will comply with state and federal laws… See you [Trump] in court." — Gov. Janet Mills (ME)

These leaders aren't pulling punches — and neither are we.

At EMILYs List, we're going all-in to elect and reelect more Democratic pro-choice women who know what's at stake and refuse to back down.

Donate today toward our $125,000 End-of Month goal and be part of the team electing tough-as-nails women everywhere:
