Friend,
If you’ve heard anything about Amy Coney
Barrett - whether it’s that she may overturn Roe v. Wade and
greenlight abortion bans across the country, or that she may strike
down the Affordable Care Act and end anti-discrimination protections
for LGBTQ folks and those living with pre-existing conditions - you’re
probably freaked. You may be thinking, “I’ve got to do something.
Well,
young people are coming together to act. Especially if you’ve never
called your Senator’s office before, this is the event for
you.
This Wednesday, October 14th,
at 1pm EST and 4pm EST (whichever you prefer),
young people are going to hop
on Zoom real quick, and get an update on Amy Coney Barrett’s hearing
from experts in Washington, D.C. Then we’ll have a youth activist
demonstrate how to make an effective call to your Senator. Then we’ll
all start calling, and you can feel free to ask questions at any time.
That’s it. Shouldn't take more than 20
minutes.
Be
sure to RSVP here to join young people nationwide on this
call!
We’ve
heard two things from our friends on Capitol Hill that are
concerning:
- That
Senators are not getting calls on this nomination like they got on
Brett Kavanaugh or on the healthcare repeal bill we ultimately
defeated
- That
some Senators have even secretly met with Judge Barrett despite
pressure from activists not to treat this nomination like
normal
Senators
on both sides of the aisle need to feel the pressure to act! And the
only people they’ll listen to right now are the people they represent
- YOU!
So
RSVP here, and bring a friend or two along to call with
you. Take
action now because each of us needs to do all we can to make sure
#OurCourt knows young people will fight for Reproductive
Justice.
