[link removed] [[link removed]]Friend,
I wanted to make sure you saw this important message from Ruth’s List CEO, Lucy Sedgwick.
Republican lawmakers in Tallahassee are playing political games with our reproductive rights and we have to fight back.
I’m no stranger to fighting to protect the rights of Floridians — and doing so in the minority. My time as Senate Minority leader taught me how difficult these fights can be. But it’s times like these that require us to band together and speak up for what we believe in.
Republican leadership is determined to undermine reproductive freedom in our state, and it is urgent we have the resources to counteract them.
Ruth’s List is committed to electing Democratic pro-choice women leaders across Florida who will not stay silent in the face of these attacks. That’s why I support Ruth’s List, and I hope you’ll join me. If you’re able, click here to commit to becoming a monthly donor before the end of the month so we can continue the fight against bills like HB 5. [[link removed]]
We know what we are up against, and it’s not going to be an easy road. There is no time to waste.
Your support is crucial to protecting our freedom.
Thanks,
Arthenia Joyner, Board Member
Ruth’s List Florida

Subject: The month is almost over
Dear Friend,
It’s hard to believe it, but we are almost at the end of the first month of the year. And what a month it’s been.
Republicans in the state legislature wasted no time attacking reproductive rights in Florida. Their bill, HB 5, is a 15 week abortion ban that’s already passed through two committees. If it were to become law today, it would be unconstitutional under Roe v. Wade , but that may not be the case for long.
We need to get to work now electing Democratic pro-choice women across our state. And we want to make a big statement before the end of the month. Can you commit to becoming a monthly donor today? [[link removed]]
Contribute [[link removed]]Since this session has started, many of our incumbents and candidates have spoken out and have called for action to stop this abortion ban. Their voices are crucial to this fight.
Although Republicans are touting this bill as pro-medicine and pro-science, it’s quite the opposite. All abortion bans are an attempt to advance a political agenda over sound science and medicine. We can’t sit back and let them strip rights away from half of Floridians. But we need your help to stop them.
If you’re able, click here to pledge your support before our big end of the month deadline. [[link removed]]
Reproductive freedom is a right, and we have to fight for it.
Onward,
[[link removed]]Lucy Sedgwick
