[[link removed]]Dear John,

If you haven’t already heard, we have some alarming news. The Supreme Court has agreed to review an abortion ban. This could be really bad. TL; DR: Mississippi is trying to implement a 15-week abortion ban that directly
contradicts Roe v. Wade.

If the Supreme Court upholds Mississippi’s ban, this would be a direct threat to
the right to a safe and legal abortion promised under Roe .

As anti-abortion state legislators and an entrenched conservative majority on
the U.S. Supreme Court continue to attack access to abortion, young people
across the country know that protecting this constitutional right is critical.



If Roe falls, we would instantly see a domino effect: Ten states, including Louisiana,
North Dakota, Utah, and others, have enacted policies that would immediately ban
abortion if Roe is overturned. In total, 24 states [[link removed]] are likely to implement a ban ASAP.



TAKE ACTION

The fundamental right to make decisions about our bodies, lives, and futures is
essential to the pursuit of racial, reproductive, and economic justice. Abortion
restrictions are part of the intertwined systems of oppression that deny the
constitutional rights of communities of color, those working to make ends meet,
members of the LGBTQI+ community, immigrants, young people, those living in
rural communities, and people with disabilities.

That is why, as we fight to ensure Roe does not fall AND we must also pursue a proactive abortion agenda that makes
access to abortion a reality for all. Roe is the floor for access to
reproductive rights. We have to transform how abortion is treated in this
country, especially for young people and those whose abortion rights have been
most obstructed. And, as always, any kind of abortion ban wouldn’t really ban abortion. Abortion bans would just make access to abortion more dependant
on your zipcode and your income which means no worry for you if you are rich.

We need your help to ensure meaningful access to abortion for all. Policymakers must go beyond baseline legal protections to ensure meaningful
access to abortion for all. This means building a cultural and systemic
framework that values abortion as essential health care.

Let’s make sure they know that,
