| Dear Friend, With the Supreme Court on the verge of overturning Roe v. Wade, the anti-abortion movement has already announced that they will push Republicans to ban abortion NATIONWIDE.(1) And Mitch McConnell just admitted that if Republicans take control of Congress, a nationwide ban is on the table.(2) That means abortion will be banned not just in red states like Mississippi and Texas but in California, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Washington, Oregon... everywhere. This is not a drill. This is not a false alarm. This is happening, and we must fight back. This Saturday, we're teaming up with a nationwide coalition to organize the largest rallies for abortion rights ever. But as a grassroots organization, we rely on small donations from supporters like you. Courage California has a long history of fighting for abortion rights. We've fought for legislation to crack down on fake abortion clinics run by anti-abortion activists.(3) We've advocated for perpetrators of violence at abortion clinics to be prosecuted as domestic terrorists.(4) Courage members have donated to abortion funds to help those with low incomes and people of color access abortion services. Our sister organization, Courage California Super PAC, has helped elect supporters of abortion rights in some of the most closely divided districts in the country. We want to be clear: At this moment, abortion is still legal. If you have an appointment for an abortion, it has not been canceled. But we are facing the greatest threat to abortion rights we've seen in half a century, and no state, no matter how blue, is safe. This Saturday, rallies are being organized all over the country to show the Supreme Court and Republicans in Congress that we will not let them take away our rights. Together, we can make these rallies the largest abortion rights marches in history, but in order to join this effort, we're counting on your donations to fund our organizing. And we have only a few days before this Saturday's marches. Yours in the fight for reproductive freedom, Irene, along with Amber, Angela, Annie, Isidra, Jay, Lindsay, LisaMarie, Mai, Mai, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team) PS: The best way to support Courage California and our work for equity and justice is to become a recurring monthly donor so we'll have the ongoing support we need over the long haul.
