Friends -

This week, following a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a major blow to reproductive freedom when it chose not to block Texas’s radical six-week abortion ban.

The Court has thrown the door wide open to Roe v. Wade being struck down, and now more than ever our movement must come together and make it crystal clear: Abortion is health care and health care is a human right.

Here’s the truth: Senate Democrats have the power to fix this problem right now by abolishing the filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court. So today I’m asking you to add your voice to mine and call on my Senate colleagues to do exactly that:

Add your name if you agree: We must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court. Our democracy is in crisis, and we must act boldly if we’re going to save it.

We’re already seeing what lengths Republicans in deep-red state legislatures across the country are willing to go to to dismantle the constitutional rights of the American people — especially those of marginalized groups including people of color, low-income families, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Expanding the Supreme Court to restore balance following Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell’s blatant theft is supported by 75% of Democrats and a plurality of likely voters — it is not only the right thing to do, it is popular and necessary.

Whether it’s reproductive freedom and health care, voting rights, climate action, immigration reform, the list goes on — we cannot stand idly by. We must abolish the Jim Crow-relic that is the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court.

This solution may be simple, but it will not be easy. It’s going to take all of us united and demanding that our voices be heard on this issue. So if you agree, please:

Sign my petition calling on my Democratic colleagues to abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court. Help us take this important step toward ensuring equal justice for all.

Last November, the American people elected a Democratic trifecta in the House, Senate, and White House. It’s our duty to deliver what the American people demand. The time to act is now.

Thank you for being a part of our fight.

In solidarity,

Ed Markey
