So much has happened for this team in just over one month, John.
Just a few weeks ago, hundreds of thousands of us took to the streets in over 650+ cities to demand abortion justice and say NO to the dangerous abortion bans popping up across the country, like Texas' S.B. 8.
Together, we organized one of the largest days of resistance dedicated to demanding abortion justice in American history. We said loud and clear: We will not accept any ban on abortion, for any person, in ANY state in our country.
But the Rally for Abortion Justice wasn't just a one day event. It was day one of our renewed, long-term commitment to fighting these dangerous anti-choice attacks on our bodies.
We've already seen how important our continued advocacy will be. On Monday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on S.B. 8, Texas' near-total ban on abortion — and Women's Marchers and our partners showed up and showed out at local courthouses across the country. Because women are STILL watching.
These past few weeks alone have proven that, in the face of the most dire threats to Roe v. Wade in decades, we have to show up again and again if we're going to win this fight. Defending our health and our rights to control our bodies will take a sustained, powerful, and consistent commitment to this fight, which is why I'm coming to you today with an important request:
Please give me a moment to explain why I'd ask you for a monthly donation — because I realize it's a big commitment.
However, it's a vitally important one.
A whopping 25 states have already directly requested the Supreme Court dismantle Roe v. Wade, and we all know now that states like Texas are enacting oppressive abortion bans we haven’t seen in decades.
That means we have big fights on the horizon. Next month, the Supreme Court will hear a much more direct challenge to Roe V. Wade and Planned Parenthood V. Casey on December 1, when the Justices review a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks. And Republican governors and state legislatures in additional GOP-controlled states have *already* said they'd consider similar legislation to Texas' S.B. 8.
It's going to take all of us to fight to defend abortion access across the country — and that will take an unprecedented amount of sustained organizing power in all 50 states. So if you, like me, believe that our women-led movement can make the vital difference in this pivotal moment in history for abortion rights, then I am respectfully asking you to begin a monthly donation right now:
In solidarity,
Rachel
