ACLU Supporter –

You're likely getting an overwhelming number of communications right now about the urgent threat to abortion rights. And to be frank, there's good reason for it.

If the leaked draft opinion by Justice Alito holds true, the Court will be overturning the fundamental right to control our own bodies and fates – and implicates other civil liberties as well, including contraception and LGBTQ rights. The time to fight back is now.

But we also understand a lot is being thrown at you. So we're going to keep this email straightforward – and share a few tangible ways you can fight for abortion rights this week.

Here's what you can do:

• Join a local rally this Saturday: Reproductive rights activists are mobilizing for rallies across the country on May 14 to say "Bans Off Our Bodies" and the ACLU is a cosponsor. Many of our affiliates will be cohosting a rally in their area, so please join if you can. (The link above will take you to a third-party site, weareplannedparenthood.org.)
• Attend our free, virtual Abortion Activism Training TODAY: We want you to have all the tools you need for a successful day of protest this Saturday – and beyond. Join ACLU's People Power today (May 12) at 1pm PT / 4pm ET for a virtual training to know your rights while demonstrating, how to take action in the ongoing fight for abortion care, and more. RSVP and we'll send you a recording even if you can't make it live.
• Can't attend a rally or would prefer a more remote option? Text FIGHTBACK to 826-23 to join ACLU alerts for more actions and updates on the crucial work ahead – delivered right to your phone.*

ACLU Supporter, no matter what SCOTUS ultimately rules, abortion access is our right, it is essential healthcare, and we will not stop fighting to protect it.

In courthouses and state legislatures across the country, the ACLU is pushing back against abortion restrictions and promoting abortion access in close collaboration with local providers and our partners. And we will continue to evolve our strategies as the fight itself does. Count on it.

We won't lose hope. We won't give up. And we're grateful that you're with us. Be ready for more updates on this urgent front soon and thanks again for all you do.

With you in the fight,

The ACLU Team
