John,
With the Supreme Court widely expected to overturn Roe v. Wade in a matter of days, soon millions of people — particularly poor and people of color living in states controlled by right-wing forces — could be denied the fundamental right to an abortion and the ability to control their own bodies.
This attack on our reproductive freedom is the product of a 50-year campaign by Christian white nationalists who are out for power and control. And this decision will have long-reaching consequences for our families, friends, and communities. After the Dobbs decision comes down, it won’t be easy to restore (and strengthen) the right to an abortion, and it won’t be quick. But we continue to fight.
This Sunday, June 26 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, we’ll be gathering at the WFP Assembly to share how we intend to defy and fight back against this attack on our bodily autonomy. We’ll also hear from special guests including reproductive justice activist Renee Bracey Sherman, as well as Jamie McLeod-Skinner and Alessandra Biaggi — two pro-choice women running for Congress to build a working families majority — and share how you can get involved in their campaigns. Can you make it? RSVP now for the link to join.

In the good times and the bad, the Working Families Party is here to be a political home for everyone ready to make this country work for the many, not the few.
The Working Families Party Assembly is our monthly virtual gathering where we recommit ourselves to each other and the movement. It’s your chance to learn how we’ve been mobilizing across the country to make real, lasting change, and to hear where this work is heading from some of our movement’s most powerful voices.
Voices like Jamie McLeod-Skinner, the nominee for OR-05 whose progressive vision ousted obstructionist incumbent Kurt Schrader last month; Alessandra Biaggi, a New York State Senator taking on DCCC Chair Sean Patrick Maloney to give NY-17 a strong, fearless, and relentless leader in Washington; and Renee Bracey Sherman, an abortion activist and founder of We Testify who has shifted the conversation around abortion and inspired countless people to share their abortion story.
Join these incredible leaders at the WFP Assembly this Sunday and help build progressive power.
