Dear John,
Today, lawyers for the last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi are going before the Supreme Court to defend the right to abortion we were guaranteed in Roe v. Wade. The case is about an abortion ban that was passed as an explicit challenge to Roe. Everything is on the line today.
We are so humbled by the outpouring of support this Giving Tuesday. Because of this unprecedented threat, we are extending our match deadline today—your gift can still be matched up to $25,000 to fuel the fight for gender justice.
On days like today, I’m reminded of how much we’ve accomplished—and how far we still have left to go. This time last year, Donald Trump was still president. Under a new administration, we’ve wasted no time tearing down oppressive and harmful policies and getting to work building the future we want to see.
From passing the Child Tax Credit to help protect working families during the height of the pandemic, to working to strike down Betsy DeVos’ harmful attempt to defang Title IX, to supporting hundreds of women facing discrimination and harassment at work, to helping federal lawmakers speak more authentically and proactively about abortion—everything we accomplished in 2021, we did together.
That’s why today, at a time when we’re facing so much uncertainty, I remember what binds this community together—a commitment to justice, to a feminist future, and to each other.
We don’t know what tomorrow holds. But no matter what, we’ll fight. If you give today, your gift will still be matched up to $25,000.
Thank you, always.
Fatima
