John, this is not the email I planned – or ever wanted – to send today.

Last night, Politico published a leaked draft opinion from the Supreme Court that showed the Court is prepared to overturn Roe v. Wade and leave abortion rights up to the whim of state goverments.

John, I’m furious and deeply worried, but I will not stand on the sidelines as our reproductive freedom is taken from us.

Today at 5 PM I will be joining community members and leaders at the Pinellas County Courthouse to rally for abortion rights. I urge you to join me.

If you’re unable to attend, I hope you will consider chipping in just a few dollars to my pro-choice, Democratic campaign. If the Supreme Court does overturn Roe v. Wade, it becomes even more imperative that Democrats maintain majority control of the House and codify abortion rights into law.

Let me be clear, the law as it stands now remains the same. But this leaked draft shows that our country is approaching an incredibly dark, dangerous, and deadly path that will put women everywhere – especially women of color and women living in poverty – at risk.

We must act together,

Michele Rayner
Democratic Candidate for Florida’s 13th Congressional District
