At Groundwork, we’ve spoken with well over 100 grassroots organizations in our states of focus so far. Throughout that process, we’ve had some incredible conversations with groups fighting for reproductive justice in the Deep South.
It is not work for the faint of heart.
States like Mississippi have been the epicenter of some of the most dramatic abortion restrictions in the nation; long before Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization made its way to the Supreme Court.
So these local organizers have seen first-hand just how much time, money and effort the GOP has put into building anti-choice momentum at the local level.
The only way to turn back the tide sweeping our states and courts is to support the people on the ground, doing the work to defend reproductive liberation where it is most at risk.
Watch this excellent video to get to know some of the “Abortion Freedom Fighters” in Mississippi and retweet to share their story.
Conservatives built their Roe takedown from the ground up. The only way we protect abortion rights is to do the same.
Sincerely,
Emily
