***********************

Dear People For supporter,

Reproductive freedom in America has been upended by the far-right majority
on the Supreme Court. We’ve just lost legal protection of the fundamental
right to bodily autonomy, impacting millions nationwide.

Unfortunately, we saw this coming… first with the confirmation, by Mitch
McConnell’s Senate, of three Donald Trump Supreme Court nominees, then
with the unprecedented leak in May of Justice Alito’s draft opinion in the
Dobbs case, indicating Roe v. Wade was in the Court’s sights.

Now, as we mourn the loss of Roe, and stand in solidarity with people in
states where abortion is now illegal or soon will be, all paths to
restoring recognition of this vital constitutional (and human) right run
through this November’s midterm elections.

That’s why it’s never been more urgent to get out the progressive vote.
And to defeat the Far Right up and down the ballot, in races for every
level of government, because until we can enact federal reform, access to
abortion care will be determined by state and local laws.

People For is working to counter far-right voter suppression with massive
voter turnout. But, to be perfectly blunt, fundraising has been very slow
this year and we have a lot of ground to make up in order to fully fund
this work.

We know you worked so hard and gave so much to get out the vote in 2020
and then again to mobilize against attacks on our democracy in 2021. Now,
fundamental rights, like the right to make our own decisions about whether
to give birth, are on the ballot this November. And as a member-funded
organization, we urgently need your help.

and restore and defend the fundamental right to reproductive freedom! >>

Lives are at stake. They’re under threat in all the places where abortion
is now prohibited and, even worse, criminalized.

And if we lose this November, things will get much worse.

In many places, the anti-abortion Far Right wants to charge people who
have – or help others get access to – abortions with murder. And we know
that the anti-abortion movement has a NATIONAL abortion ban near the top
of their agenda should they retake control of Congress.

So much was already on the line in the midterms this year. And, if you’ve
been watching the January 6 Committee hearings you know that includes our
democracy itself. Now, the right to make our own decisions about giving
birth, for this generation and generations to come, is on that list as
well.

The ways we fix this mess and ultimately restore the RIGHT to abortion in
our country all involve winning or expanding pro-reproductive rights
majorities in Congress so:

* We can codify the right to reproductive freedom in federal law and
stop the state and local attacks on abortion access.
* We can have the votes in the Senate needed to confirm another
pro-reproductive rights voice on the Supreme Court should a vacancy
occur.

Even if it takes years to replace another two Supreme Court justices,
think about this: If the Far Right wins majorities in either or both
chambers of Congress, they will use their power to rig the next
presidential election in favor of Donald Trump or a Trump-like candidate,
who would then get to nominate the next justices.

And while we work toward federal relief (which can be slow, but can
potentially be much quicker with big victories at the federal level in
November), we need to protect the rights and access of people in the
places where abortion care is now – or will soon be – illegal. Again, that
means the stakes for down-ballot races in hundreds of jurisdictions across
the country just got much higher.

choose to get in this fight with an urgent donation now to win big in
November and save fundamental human rights like the right to reproductive
freedom >>

Thanks for everything you do.

– Marge Baker, Executive Vice President
