Did you see Pramila’s email from the other day? It’s a really important read.
Reproductive rights are human rights — which is why Pramila helped pass the Women's Health Protection Act to codify Roe v. Wade and a pregnant person’s right to a safe, legal abortion.
Now, the Senate needs to do the same and protect abortion throughout America with unprecedented attacks on choice happening all across the country. Can you rush a donation of $3 or any amount to support Pramila’s work to end the filibuster — so we can get the Women’s Health Protection Act to President Biden’s desk as soon as possible?

Subject: End the filibuster and pass the Women’s Health Protection Act — so we can codify Roe v. Wade into law once and for all.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case concerning Mississippi’s dangerous abortion ban. This cruel law represents the biggest threat to Roe v. Wade in nearly 50 years.
This is personal for me and millions of people across America. I’m not only a Congresswoman, the chair of the Progressive Caucus, and a dedicated member of the Pro-Choice Caucus. I’m not only an organizer who knows that reproductive rights are human rights. I’m also one of the one in four women in America who has had an abortion.
Inaction is not an option right now. We must fight back. That begins by ending the filibuster and passing the Women’s Health Protection Act through the Senate — so we can codify Roe v. Wade into law once and for all. Can you chip in $3 to fuel my fight to end the filibuster and protect reproductive freedom nationwide?
For me, terminating my pregnancy was not an easy choice — but it was MY choice. Because of the cruel Mississippi abortion ban and the other abortion bans currently being litigated, many people may not have the same choice as I did.
It is nobody’s business what choices we as pregnant people make about our own bodies. This is a constitutionally protected, intensely personal choice about control of our own bodies. And the consequences of that choice are ones that only WE will have to live with.
We must organize for reproductive justice as we protest against these cruel bans in Mississippi, Texas, and too many other states. That’s why I was so proud to help pass the Women’s Health Protection Act through the House earlier this year so we can combat these attacks. Now, it’s time to END the filibuster and pass this critical legislation through the Senate. It truly can’t wait.
Thank you for joining me. It really makes a difference.
