Dear Friend,

Formerly free services now cost $200 a visit. Boxes of birth control can't
be given out. Staff are going from full-time to part-time, causing long
delays in appointments.

This is what's happening under Trump's family-planning gag rule, which has
resulted in Planned Parenthood losing $60 million in federal Title X
funds.(1)

Congress can override Trump’s disastrous gag rule, and we're demanding
that they act now -- because every day that Planned Parenthood goes
without Title X funds, women suffer.

[ [link removed] ]Will you donate to help stop Trump's family-planning gag rule and
restore Planned Parenthood's Title X funding?

Trump's gag rule prohibits Title X family-planning funds from going to any
clinic that helps women find safe and legal abortion care.

But rather than agree to conceal necessary health-care information from
women, Planned Parenthood left the Title X program. And while some states
have filled the gap left by the funding shortfall, others have not.(2)
That has left family-planning providers around the country struggling to
meet demand.

Planned Parenthood clinics saw 1.6 million patients under Title X, and
Trump’s gag rule targeted the organization directly. We're already seeing
the real-world consequences of his damaging rule.

Courage Campaign is pushing every California Republican to join Democrats
to overrule the family-planning gag rule. Will you donate?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I’ll donate to stand with Planned Parenthood and fight Trump's
family-planning gag rule.

Yours in the fight for our reproductive rights,

Caitlin, along with Analeeza, Annie, Brenna, Diego, Eddie, Gabby, Lindsay,
Mai, Mary, Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
