John,

Today, the Hyde Amendment is being discussed by the U.S. House Labor, Health, & Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.

The Hyde Amendment was put in place after Roe vs. Wade to appease the anti-abortion movement and politicians by preventing federal funds from being used to cover abortions. It was a compromise to the disadvantage of the health and safety of those already marginalized in the health system -- mostly Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ folks -- who are still without reproductive justice.

Hyde is deeply rooted in racism, and as the Chair of the Congressional Pro-Choice caucus, Diana has been fighting against Hyde and its consequences for years -- and members of the committee need to hear your voice.

We've set a goal to get 600 signatures from our supporters by THIS Thursday. Sign on now to tell the committee that you want to see the backward and racially unjust Hyde Amendment repealed. Add your name next to Diana's and millions of fellow Americans NOW. [link removed]

Abortions are as medically necessary as getting medicine when you're sick or a cast if you've broken a bone. But, nearly 1 in 4 poor women carry unwanted pregnancies to term.

As we reckon with centuries of racial inequality and attempt to build an America where all have the opportunity to succeed, we can no longer accept that abortion is legal only for the people who can afford it. We need to get rid of this heinous restriction that has limited abortion access for far too long.

There is no racial or reproductive justice without repealing the Hyde Amendment. We need your voice now more than ever.

All women can't have equal access to reproductive rights until the Hyde Amendment is ended once and for all. So let your voice be heard loud and clear -- demand that the racist, unjust, and repressive Hyde Amendment be repealed. Sign on NOW >> [link removed]

Thank you,

Team DeGette
 

Diana is relying on grassroots donors to continue fighting for Colorado values in Congress. Can we count on you to chip in $5 -- or whatever you can today -- to help her keep fighting?
