Hey John,
In the wake of SCOTUS's abortion decision, today is heavy. Low-income people of color in particular are disproportionately impacted by abortion restrictions, and in the developed nation with the highest rates of maternal mortality, this SCOTUS decision is devastating.
Then, less than 10 minutes after the SCOTUS decision was announced, Missouri became the first state in the country to invoke a trigger law banning abortion.
But we can't — and we won't — give up. We can't let out-of-touch, out-of-state folks dictate our rights.
If you are able, I invite you today to donate to the Missouri Abortion Fund, which raises money to cover transportation costs, childcare, medical costs and more for abortion patients.
As your mayor, I will never stop fighting for your rights to privacy and autonomy.
In solidarity,
— Mayor Q
