When Democrats speak their truths, John, we win.

My truth is this: I had an abortion when I was 19, and I don’t regret it.

Anti-choice extremists have tried to shame millions of people like me. But abortion can be life-affirming and can restore hope and a sense of possibility to those who find themselves in the position of needing one. So I’m outraged that this fundamental right is now being taken away.

IL-06 needs someone with a track record of fighting for women’s reproductive rights, which is why I want to make sure every voter hears my story before the June 28 primary.

This is my final end-of-month deadline before the election, and we’ve still got $8,106 left to raise. Will you chip in right now to help me keep my ad on air?

Thank you,

Marie

John,

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from working on political campaigns, it’s this: voters move to your side when they hear stories they can relate to and build understanding around the need to protect rights – not limit them.

That’s why last week, Marie released her first television ad of the election to speak her truth. She shared her deeply personal story about her decision to have an abortion when she was 19.

Marie knows what’s at stake for millions of people across the country from personal experience, and she’s fought for reproductive rights for decades. Now, it’s up to us to ensure that every voter in IL-06 knows that by keeping her ad on air through the June 28 primary.

We’ve set a goal to raise $20,000 before the end of the month so that we can keep her ad running and continue to share her story with voters across the district in advance of the primary. Can you chip in $5, $25, $50, or any amount now?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip in $5	Chip in $25
Chip in $50	Chip in $100
Chip in $250	Other amount

This is our final end-of-month deadline. This primary is going to come down to the wire – what we do between now and then will be the difference between victory and defeat.

Every additional contribution adds to the power of our message, so please chip in whatever you can today.

Thanks,
