Team —

Later this month we could hear some BIG news from the U.S. Supreme Court. The state of Mississippi has asked the Court to review our case challenging a ban on abortion after just 15 weeks of pregnancy—a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade.

As we await a decision from the Supreme Court about whether it will hear our case—and continue our work litigating dozens of other cases across the U.S.—we know that we'll need supporters like you by our side.

According to our reports, we still need 36 more Champions to reach our goal by February 19. By starting a monthly gift and joining our Champions for Reproductive Rights, you'll expand the stable base of support this incredible group provides.

Will you make a monthly gift right now to help us prepare?

Pre-viability abortion bans like this one have been unconstitutional since the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe ruling. If the Court chooses to review this case, it will be the first such ban to go before the Justices since that landmark ruling. That should set off alarm bells for us all.

Abortion remains legal in Mississippi for now, but like in many states, it is already a hollow right for many for whom the barriers to access care are simply too high—in particular, Black people, communities of color, and people living in poverty. Mississippi legislators have targeted abortion care with so many restrictions over the years that there is only one clinic left in the state. With this case, Mississippi seeks to advance its strategy of eliminating abortion access entirely.

Thanks to our Champions, we are hard at work protecting reproductive rights and abortion access in Mississippi and around the world. Will you take your support to the next level today? Make a monthly gift right now to become a Champion for Reproductive Rights and help us prepare for whatever comes next.

Onward,
