John—

The pain and rage following generations of racial injustice and countless
acts of state violence against Black people like Breonna Taylor, George
Floyd, Tony McDade, and Rayshard Brooks is finally getting the national
conversation it deserves. The murders of countless Americans, at the hands
of police and because of entrenched white supremacy, have brought our
nation to a breaking point. We cannot look away and we must do everything
we can to pursue true racial justice.

Part of effectively doing that work is knowing our history. Make no
mistake, what we’re witnessing now is the same systemic oppression and
racial violence that has been happening in this country since the
beginning. And the anti-choice Radical Right has been there since the
beginning.

I decided to write The Lie That Binds after realizing how many people
didn’t know that the Religious Right was formed to fight school
desegregation and not abortion. Preserving the white male patriarchy has
always been one and the same with the forces behind the anti-choice
movement. [ [link removed] ]I hope you'll consider checking it out and adding it to your
reading list. The more we understand about how the Radical Right has
weaponized racism and misogyny to lock in control, the better equipped
we'll be to push for reproductive freedom and racial justice.

Take a moment to read this synopsis below and consider adding this book to
your reading list:

An indispensable account of the rise of the Radical Right, The Lie That
Binds exposes the hidden political infrastructure that has undermined our
democracy for decades by weaponizing abortion through disinformation to
drive a racist, misogynistic policy agenda. NARAL Pro-Choice America
President Ilyse Hogue and Research Director Ellie Langford dig deep into
some of the most dangerous — and least understood — forces in U.S.
politics and offer an unflinchingly blunt prescription of steps that will
be necessary to save our union from this deception and destruction. Read
to learn how to slice through the tangled web of lies threatening our
democracy to its core and see the light.

By calling out the anti-choice movement for what it is and exposing the
ties between attempts to restrict reproductive freedom and the Radical
Right’s long-standing efforts to uphold structural racism and a culture of
white supremacy, we open up new avenues to fight for freedom for every
body. When we know the truth about our opposition, we have more tools to
dismantle their hateful ideologies and disrupt their influence in our
politics.

As many of us take to the streets to protest in outrage against racial
injustice, we also know that learning about the history of white supremacy
is a critical foundation for our activism together. That includes
examining the racist roots of the anti-choice movement and arming
ourselves with the knowledge to fight against disinformation that is still
being used to advance their white supremacist goals. [ [link removed] ]Take a moment to
add this to your reading list by pre-ordering your copy of The Lie That
Binds now.
