I'll be honest, there's a lot about this year I wish I could leave behind — especially the all-out attacks on reproductive freedom, on health care, on our most fundamental rights.
It has been a year, and in many ways, I'd like to turn the page on the calendar and never look back.
But there's also been so much good this year. Over and over, I saw individuals, groups, and whole communities rise up to advocate, protest, donate, volunteer, and more. Every single attack on reproductive freedom has been met with fierce resistance and courageous support for patients and providers. That's what gives me hope for the coming year.
This is a movement that refuses to be silenced and never backs down. I want to thank you for adding your strength.
I recorded a short video to express my sincere gratitude — please take a moment to watch:
