Hi John,
I lead our finances at Women's March, and wanted to send you an update before our big fundraising deadline tonight.
Here's the good news: We've received a surge in grassroots donations ever since Women’s March released our strategy memo to stop the Republican Party’s wave of attacks on our reproductive freedom. Women's Marchers from across the country have stepped up — many of them for the very first time this year — to help raise money for our Reproductive Justice Fund.
But here's what we’re worried about: There’s only a couple hours left until our end-of-quarter deadline at midnight tonight. Right now, we’re just a handful of donations away from reaching our goal and we’d hate to fall short and have to cut down on our organizing work.
The wave of attacks happening right now to dismantle access to abortion and restrict our reproductive freedom is terrifying. It’s a harsh reminder that Trump may be gone — but his misogynistic and racist agenda is still alive and being carried out by his supporters.
But we’ve made it clear we’re not going down quietly: In the past month, a powerful, women-led movement has risen up to fight back against these attacks.
Women, especially women of color, are leading efforts to put pressure on companies and their elected officials to stand against Texas Republicans orchestrating these efforts to strip away our rights. High school graduate Paxton Smith has gone viral for speaking out at her high school graduation about the importance of abortion rights and has inspired millions of other young women to rise up in this fight. And Women’s Marchers have been hard at work organizing to put pressure on our elected officials on the local and federal level to end this assault on our democracy and the rights enshrined to us from Roe v. Wade.
Please remember this: History has taught us that there’s nothing more powerful than women organizing together for our feminist values. We know it’s true because this is how we defeated Trump, flipped the Senate, and stopped other attacks on reproductive freedom in the past.
That’s why we’re coming to you one more time, John, to ask for a favor and help make sure Women’s March has the resources we need to build a nationwide reproductive justice campaign that will leverage the power of women to end these attacks:
Let’s do this,
