Are you tired? I don't blame you. The last few weeks — let alone years — have been challenging. With each day, we see more fundamental rights being challenged and more proof that our democracy is under real threat.
In moments like these, it is easy to turn away — especially when you live in a state where you still feel any form of protection. But I need to urge you not to turn away. Not now. Rest if you need to; take care of yourself and your people. But then come back to the fight. I promise you, we’ll be here.
Because our partner states — Alabama, West Virginia, Mississippi, and Oklahoma — have never had the luxury of that protection. Abortion access had been all but eliminated, long before SCOTUS ruled, and trigger bans on the books will now take what remains of reproductive rights away.
Groundwork is digging deep for them, and I hope you will dig deep with us. This week is our first FEC filing since the Jan. 6th committee went prime time and Roe was overturned. Our financial strength will signal if we are going to roll over or roll up our sleeves to fight another day. You know which side I am on — are you with me?
