I wanted to make sure you saw this, John.
Earlier this morning, our Executive Director, Rachel, sent you a message detailing the immediate fights we are facing: from anti-abortion extremism to the rise of online disinformation.
It is clear we have our work cut out for us — but we have a plan and it’s working.
The activism and political participation we’ve cultivated over the past five years has sowed the seeds for an enduring progressive movement led by women across race and place.
In 2021 alone, we:
Because of these efforts we were able to move mountains, defeat Trump, take back the Senate and hold the House.
This was all possible because of supporters like you. In fact, our average contribution is $12.32. We’re proud of that number, John, because it means all of these efforts have been people-powered by everyday supporters who are chipping in what they can. Supporters who know we are on the right side of history.
Forward together,
Tamika
Managing Director, Women’s March
P.S. I included Rachel's original email to give you the chance to hear from her and learn why this moment is so critical.
John,
This March, Women’s History Month takes on a whole new level of importance.
For the past year, we have faced unprecedented attacks on abortion access across our country. From our far-right Supreme Court allowing Texas’ 6-week abortion ban to continue, to the record number of local abortion care restrictions that have been passed in the past year — we are currently witnessing the worst attacks on reproductive rights in our lifetimes.
Yet in the face of all of these challenges, women were the ones leading efforts to resist these attacks and calling for abortion justice. Last October, hundreds of thousands of us hit the streets across our nation to Rally for Abortion Justice — and together, we made it clear that we won't tolerate any attacks on our reproductive freedom.
This past year, we’ve gathered at the Supreme Court, in our own communities, and online to combat misinformation about abortion and amplify our message for abortion justice. Thousands of you have volunteered to rise up with our movement.
Your support is the power behind our resistance. We’re counting on it, especially now, leading up to a critical Supreme Court case to determine abortion rights and a competitive midterm elections season where we have a chance to hold anti-abortion politicians accountable.
That’s why today, we’re asking you to show your support in honor of International Women’s Day and help us raise $20,000 for our feminist organizing work here at Women’s March.
We know that many people are struggling this year – but that’s what makes our work even more important. People – especially women – are struggling and it will take a mass movement like ours to demand a fundamental shift in our government.
As we continue to deal with the crises of anti-abortion extremism, COVID-19, mass unemployment, and the rise of disinformation, it’s critical that our team has the resources to continue growing this women-led movement and organizing for transformative policies.
Thank you,
Rachel
