Dear John,
We worked hard for this one. NOW members like you put their hearts and souls into the grassroots movement that elected Joe Biden and the first woman of color Vice President, Kamala Harris.
Today’s a day for celebration—but tomorrow our most urgent challenges will be just as real. Conservatives made unexpected gains in statehouse elections, putting more states in play where laws are passed that restrict access to abortion. And as the disturbing attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6 showed us, right-wing extremists and white supremacists feel emboldened and encouraged by members of the House and Senate still in power.
Some of the most appalling and unconstitutional restrictions are crafted to land before the Supreme Court when they next consider the future of Roe v. Wade. That’s why we must fight back.
As Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation just showed us, the high court is newly energized to restrict access to all aspects of reproductive health, even during a pandemic.
With a 50-50 tie in the Senate, the opportunity exists for Mitch McConnell to make even more mischief from the minority.
If we want Kamala Harris to be able to preside over the passage of groundbreaking legislation in the Senate, NOW needs to be ready.
Will you support NOW’s vision with a special gift today?
It’s essential that we begin this new era with a burst of energy, ready to meet all the challenges that are coming—from passing the backlog of vital legislation that can finally move through the Senate, to pushing back against the newly energized anti-abortion extremists and white supremacists who threaten progress.
Make a special gift to NOW to show where you stand.
Today we share in a tremendous victory. Tomorrow we get back to work.
