They won't stop here. Neither will we.

Stay in the fight for as long as it takes.

Friend –

Today, the Supreme Court issued a shameful ruling explicitly overturning Roe v. Wade – turning its back on 50 years of precedent.

The consequences of this indefensible decision will be swift and devastating. Half the states are expected to ban abortion, denying 36 million women and other people who can become pregnant in those states the right to decide for themselves whether and when to become a parent. The harm of this ruling will fall hardest on people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+ communities, young people, and people struggling to make ends meet.

Emboldened by this decision, anti-abortion extremists and their political allies won't stop here. Opponents of freedom are planning for a nationwide ban on abortion. And they're also attacking our right to use birth control, access gender-affirming care, marry who we love, and vote.

But the ACLU has been preparing for this moment. We're committed to using the full force of our organization to fight these assaults in the courts, in statehouses, in the streets, and at the ballot box. And we're ready to work as hard as it takes – for as long as it takes – to protect all our civil liberties.

ACLU Supporter, we need you now more than ever in this work – not just for today – but for the long haul. That's why I'm urging you to make a monthly pledge in this crucial moment and ensure we have the resources needed for the urgent work ahead to defend people's rights. <[link removed]>

I won't deny what a horrible moment this is in our nation's history. But, please know that we will be here – fighting alongside you no matter what. Together, we can take on vicious attacks against our rights. We're the ACLU. We've been here before and with your help, we will win.

As a Guardian of Liberty, your monthly support will ensure our teams can carry out a multi-pronged approach to stem the tide of attacks on abortion, including:

* Filing post-ruling lawsuits and pursuing legislation to protect and expand access to abortion in supportive states

* Holding politicians who push extreme anti-abortion laws to account, mobilizing voters to participate in key elections and beyond

* Investing in crucial advocacy for ballot measure work and other local races in order to uphold abortion access in as many states across the country as possible

ACLU Supporter, this is without a doubt a high-stakes, crisis moment for our country. So please – with all the outrage and determination within you now – take action with the ACLU. Become a monthly donor and protect abortion access and all our civil liberties. <[link removed]>

The ACLU will never back down and we know you won't either. Because, we, the people, always have the power to fight back. And, with your support, that's what we intend to do.

Thanks for all you do,

Jennifer Dalven
