Dear People For Supporter, Are you still reeling from the leaked Supreme Court draft decision that will end Roe v. Wade? I know I am. The stakes in this November’s midterm elections were already incredibly high. Now, with the end of Roe v. Wade seemingly imminent, it’s clear that EVERY race on the ballot, at EVERY level of government, will determine the future of our reproductive rights and health. That’s because once abortion is no longer protected as a constitutional right, it will be state and local laws that will dictate whether or not bodily autonomy is recognized. But if we mobilize a powerful electoral groundswell – which is exactly what People For the American Way is working tirelessly to do – then we can codify the right to choose into federal law! Of course, we need to do EVERYTHING we possibly can to create record voter turnout in November. The stakes could not be higher – so whether it’s phone banking, door knocking, letter writing, or simply helping your progressive and independent friends get out to vote, we ALL have a big role to play in getting voters to cast their ballots this year. (Please watch this space; People For will continue to bring you the best of those opportunities as we head toward Election Day.) The choice that every voter needs to be made aware of this fall is now crystal clear: will we elect progressive leaders who will fight to protect Americans’ fundamental right to abortion care and reproductive freedom? Or far-right extremists who will do all they can to criminalize abortion, deny people their fundamental rights, and impose their religious beliefs on others? People For is leading the way to empower progressives across the country and defeat far-right extremists up and down the ballot, but we can only do this necessary work with financial support from members like you. So – before it’s too late – please join us in the fight to restore and strengthen the American Way. Thank you,
Kathleen Turner
