Dear MoveOn member,
Now that we know the U.S. Supreme Court has privately voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, here's the brutal and heart-wrenching truth:1
America is about to turn back the clock 50 years to a time when women were not free and trans and non-binary people were not visible in our society.
The ruling, which reads like an unhinged conservative manifesto, calls Roe "egregiously wrong from the start."2 A final decision from the court, which is expected within the next two months, would make abortion illegal in 26 states, including in a wide swath of the Midwest and the South, and open the floodgates to additional states banning and further restricting abortion.3
Already, a 26-year-old Texas woman was indicted for murder in March, after she miscarried and told hospital staff that she had tried to induce an abortion.4 The charges were later dropped because Roe is still the law of the land.
But no more, once this Supreme Court decision is finalized.
John, we cannot go back. We must fight back with all of our might. We, the people, hold the real power in this country—if we come together and use it.
But that means winning elections. This ruling is the direct result of Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell's packing the Supreme Court with three extreme right-wing justices.
That's why MoveOn is launching a no-holds-barred campaign to defeat the GOP in November, elect governors who will veto abortion bans in their states, and expand the Democratic majority with senators who will end the filibuster and codify abortion rights into federal law without delay.
Will you start a $5 monthly donation to MoveOn's emergency fund to help launch and sustain the surge in organizing, voter engagement, and turnout needed to help ensure abortion remains legal in America?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
We know you may be feeling a range of emotions this week: grief, anger, shock, fear. The team at MoveOn is, too.
But we cannot allow this moment to lead us to cynicism and inaction. Right now, we must fight back.
If you've been waiting to get involved, this is the moment.
If you've already been working hard, this is the moment to dig deeper.
Please start a montly donation of $5 to MoveOn right now to help defeat the GOP in November and elect officials who will codify abortion into law.
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
We're in this together, for as long as it takes.
Thanks for all you do. We are grateful for you, John.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's preparations for being able to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to replace top election officials in battleground states with his own loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our 23-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.
Will you chip in monthly to power our campaign to defeat Trump and protect our elections in 2022?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
