Friend –

The fight for reproductive freedom has come to a head with the Supreme Court giving states the green light to pass laws that effectively ban abortion and also considering whether to overturn Roe v. Wade entirely.

This is a critical moment. We have to keep fighting with everything we've got – and we have to show that those of us fighting for our ability to get an abortion are not backing down.

And one of the most important ways you can help do that is by making your year-end gift to the ACLU's 2022 Action Fund before the December 31 deadline.

Your year-end gift of $35, $50, or more will go a long way in supporting the ACLU's fight to defend abortion and other fundamental freedoms as we head into 2022.

Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the Mississippi case that was recently argued by our partners at Center for Reproductive Rights before the Supreme Court, will determine whether we have any federal constitutional right to abortion at all.

And meanwhile the Supreme Court also recently shrugged its shoulders for a third time by not putting an end to Texas' extreme abortion ban. The Court's ruling means countless Texans will be forced to carry pregnancies against their will. And its impact will stretch far beyond with politicians across the country preparing similar bounty-hunting abortion bans.

We're in unprecedented times. Full stop. But we're preparing to fight back against these dangerous attempts to take away our ability to control our lives and futures while we continue to litigate our many ongoing abortion lawsuits around the country – building on the 20 abortion bans and restrictions that we blocked this past year alone.

And beyond our powerful legal strategies, we will also continue to push forward our advocacy and mobilization efforts in Congress and in statehouses nationwide to protect abortion care from the dire threat it now faces – as well as defend all civil liberties.

This is a high stakes moment, ACLU Supporter. So please, take action now and support the ACLU's 2022 Action Fund to ensure that our teams have the resources to fight and win in the critical months ahead.

Sincerely,

Brigitte Amiri
