Dear Friend,
Today, the Supreme Court has issued the most offensive ruling in our lifetime, overturning fifty years of constitutionally guaranteed protection of abortion rights, stripping us of our bodily autonomy, our fundamental right to freedom, and with it, our equality.
We’re about to learn what it means to live in a post-Roe era. I’m not exaggerating when I say I fear the worst. With a 15-week abortion ban about to take effect in Florida, and a majority of anti-abortion lawmakers in the state legislature embolden to ban all abortion, the effects will be devastating, particularly for Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, people with disabilities, people in rural areas, young people, undocumented people, and those having difficulty making ends meet. There’s no limit to the cruelty of this decision and we must come together to do everything in our power to stop this injustice.
This is precisely why Ruth’s List was founded — to build the bench of Democratic pro-choice women leaders who will fight for our reproductive freedom. We know the only way to stop Florida from regressing further is to make abortion a top voting issue in the November election. It’s why we’re doubling down on our efforts to recruit, train, and support a record number of Democratic pro-choice women candidates this year, but we can’t do it without your support.
Will you commit to joining us in the biggest fight of our lives? All donations through midnight tomorrow will be matched by a generous Ruth’s List donor. Don’t miss this opportunity to double your impact.
