Does it feel like the freedom to control our own bodies is under attack like never before? That's because it is.

Recently Texas put into place the most restrictive abortion ban in the country, using cash incentives to get private citizens to enforce it. And the U.S. Supreme Court is right now considering a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade — the landmark decision that established the right to safe, legal abortion. This case could end our constitutional right to make our own decisions about our bodies. In some states, there are increasing discriminatory laws targeting transgender people, and deep cuts to health care access. What's more, as the next election cycle heats up, we are dangerously close to Mitch McConnell and other anti-reproductive health politicians taking over the Senate — again.

Every one of these fights matters. Every patient, every community, every state. Planned Parenthood Action Fund needs to be ready to do our part, no matter what — but we can't do it without your support. Will you chip in?

We've set an ambitious goal: 10,000 donations in 72 hours to power this work. We're counting on your support to help make it happen. Click here to make your gift.

There's no doubt: the people who want to turn back the clock on our rights and impose their narrow vision on the rest of us are feeling unbeatable. They are emboldened by a newly configured composition of the Supreme Court — as several justices with hostile records to reproductive health and rights were appointed by the previous administration.

But the truth is, they are a minority. And we — you and me and everyone who believes that sexual and reproductive health care should be accessible for all — we are powerful.

Let's show them that we will not give in. Let's show them that we were made for this moment, that we are ready for what comes next. Let's show them that the Planned Parenthood community is unafraid and undaunted.

That's what I am counting on: the clear-eyed conviction and unshakeable support of people like you. We have three days to reach our 10,000 donor goal. Help make it happen — be one of 10,000 today.

With your help, we can defend abortion access in state houses and at the ballot box. We can continue to tear down barriers to care. We can put resources where they are needed most to protect sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Your support is essential. Please, chip in now.

Thank you for your ongoing support, today and every day.

Sincerely,

P.S. We need your generosity more than ever — the future of our reproductive freedom depends on it. But if you aren't in a place to give this year or already made your year-end gift, we understand that. If you'd like to receive fewer messages from us for the rest of the year, you can submit a request here.
