John, the right to an abortion won’t be the last right taken away by the conservative Supreme Court.
Justice Clarence Thomas has publicly stated that the Court needs to attack our right to contraception, same-sex marriage, and same-sex relationships.
This is not just a headline, this is a warning of what’s to come if we do not act right now.
If they take away our rights, it’s going to be District Attorneys that are the first line of defense in refusing to prosecute people for exercising their civil rights.
That’s why we need to make sure we have as many strong, pro-choice DAs as possible in place by the next session.
In fact, we have 3 DA races coming up fast, and will be making 3 more key endorsements in important DA races next week. And our conservative opponents who spent millions to oppose us in San Francisco are watching and ready to use their war chest to stop us.
We are watching in real-time as Supreme Court conservatives work to take away so much of the progress we have made for civil rights in the country for the past 50 years.
It’s why we need to take Clarence Thomas' threats VERY seriously and do the work now to prepare for the possibility that even more of our rights will be slashed.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, it’s clear that we simply can’t wait for Congress to protect our rights.
That is why we have to focus our time and energy on defending our DAs who are already working to protect women at the local level.
The amount we raise over the next few days will determine just how much power we have to support our current and hopeful DAs.
Thank you,
Real Justice
