[1]Women's March
John,
Forty nine years of the constitutional right to an abortion in this
country ended today.
The ultra-conservative majority on the Supreme Court just struck down Roe
v. Wade. We knew this was coming. But nothing could prepare us for what
today feels like.
And the blame does not just lie with five conservative extremists on the
court. Congress had DECADES to act. Democratic majorities and
supermajorities came and went. They did nothing. They played politics with
our lives and our bodies.
As if our right to bodily autonomy shouldn’t be the bare minimum. As if it
wasn’t worth taking decisive action to protect.

[ [link removed] ]The status quo isn’t working. It’s time for an uprising to protect
abortion rights. Our movement is STRONG. Your support now will help us
unleash it.
When we warned them that this day would come, they called us hysterical.
When we fought, hard, to stop the appointment of ANOTHER Supreme Court
justice who was credibly accused of sexual assault, they called us
uncivil. When we said we needed legislative action NOW, they called us
impractical.
Every emotion you feel right now is valid. We are in a bleak moment in our
history. But know this: you are not alone. You are backed by millions of
women and allies across this country. Together, we will say in one voice:
We demand better. We demand action.
We demand:
* To codify Roe into federal law.
* To stop corporations from funding right-wing extremist attacks on
abortion.
* To protect and expand abortion access at the state and local level.
Today will be tough. But we are prepared. We are ready for the fight.
And we need you. We need every voice to be heard in the streets and in the
halls of Congress. [ [link removed] ]Help us give our rage a voice so powerful they
cannot ignore it. Help us build our movement and show them we will never
go back.
The only way we lose is if we do not act. Welcome to the Summer of Rage.
See you out there,
Rachel Carmona
