This is a
longer email, but I hope you’ll take the time to read it in its entirety.

This is a difficult moment. With every Republican voting “no,” the Senate
failed to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act — which would codify Roe
v. Wade.

Throughout its history, the Jim Crow-era rules of the United States Senate
have obstructed progress, denied justice at every turn, and kept a foot
squarely on the neck of Black America.

Senate Republicans’ obstruction of the Women’s Health Protection Act is
only the latest example of their damning failure to do the bare minimum to
protect the fundamental rights of millions of people in this country.

Failing to pass this critical legislation means that safe, legal abortion
care may very well be pushed out of reach for millions—particularly Black,
brown, Indigenous, immigrant, disabled and LGBTQ+ folks. I’m glad that
each Senator was put on record so their constituents can see which side of
history they chose to be on.

Despite this devastating setback, I remain resolved and determined. We
must continue to use every lever at our disposal to protect reproductive
rights across this country, including expanding access to medication
abortion and pushing back against any efforts to criminalize pregnancy
outcomes and abortion care.

Today, Roe v. Wade is still the law of the land. If you have an
appointment, keep it. If you need care, seek it. With Supreme Court
Justices and anti-choice lawmakers across the country waging a
full-fledged assault on our reproductive freedom, we must act like our
humanity, bodily autonomy, and collective liberation are at stake, because
they are.

Abortion care is a fundamental human right, and we will not stop
organizing, mobilizing, and marching until our policies and budgets
reflect that truth.

No one is free until everyone is free. I will not give up in the fight to
protect every person’s reproductive rights and I hope that you will join
me as we work to fight for those who will be impacted by today’s failure
in the Senate.

In solidarity,

Ayanna Pressley
