This is a big deal, John.
Right now, the Supreme Court is reviewing arguments regarding Texas’ draconian 6-week abortion ban, S.B. 8. Whatever outcome is decided will set a critical precedent for protecting abortion access in America.
The slate of laws recently passed around the country like S.B. 8 is why Cori has been busy organizing and testifying to demand equitable and quality abortion care for anyone who wants it. It’s why Cori recently spoke in front of Congress and publicly shared for the first time that she was sexually assaulted, became pregnant, and chose to have an abortion.
And it’s why we’re reaching out today to ask for your support in this work. Will you chip in $5 or anything you can right now to send a powerful message to anti-abortion politicians that our grassroots movement is rising up to protect our reproductive freedom and demand abortion care for all?
We can’t emphasize this enough, John: We’re currently witnessing the worst attacks on reproductive rights in our lifetime.
The Texas law the Supreme Court is reviewing today is just one example of the attacks happening across our country to restrict abortion access. For instance, in Missouri, a Republican member of the state legislature has already announced plans to introduce a restrictive anti-abortion bill modeled after the Texas law. And the eight-week abortion ban signed by Missouri Governor Mike Parson last year is only one step away from the Supreme Court.
We have seen before that we cannot trust this far-right Supreme Court to do the right thing. That’s why we need our movement to come together. We need to show up for our neighbors no matter how hard or scary it gets.
Cori knows from the streets of Ferguson that change isn't just going to happen with the power of the pen but the power of the people. Our movements and our elected officials need to be working hand in hand. We must continue pushing for the expansion of the Supreme Court and the passage of policies that would protect access to abortion.
Cori is ready to lead this work, but she also needs our grassroots support to fund her organizing and legislating efforts to defend abortion access.
Together,
Team Cori
