We went to court and demanded that the administration put patients first. We won.

Dear John,

Time and again, it’s been Trump-Pence vs. Patients. But today, we won!

When the Trump-Pence administration finalized its discriminatory rule that would have let personal beliefs dictate patient care, we sued. And John, we just found out that we stopped this dangerous rule from going into effect!

But we know this administration is fuming from our victory — and we know its lawyers are already working to appeal this decision. Which is why we’re not stopping now. We’re not just going to win in court — we’re also going to win by pushing for laws and policies that will protect patients from discrimination.

Help Us Keep Fighting Back Against the Trump Administration’s Discriminatory Agenda

Let’s keep winning and fighting to make sure patient care always comes first.

When this administration first proposed this rule, you showed up, and together, we submitted 200,000 comments opposing it.

When this administration finalized this rule, you were behind us and our lawyers working to fight this rule in court.

And now that we’ve made it loud and clear that a health care provider’s personal beliefs should never dictate the care a patient receives, we’re going to keep fighting together, in court and in Congress.

Help support these important fights for our rights by making a donation today!

  • You should never be refused abortion care or information because of a hospital’s board of director’s personal beliefs.
  • You should never be sent away from needed medical treatment just because your transgender identity goes against a provider’s personal beliefs.
  • You should never be forced out of an ambulance because the driver learns you are headed to the hospital to terminate an ectopic pregnancy.

If this rule had been allowed to go into effect in November, it would have emboldened this kind of discrimination across the country. We know the administration will fight to overturn our victory. That’s why we need to make sure we’re stopping this rule — once and for all.

Please make a donation to fuel critical fights like these.

Thank you for always putting patients first,
