Dear MoveOn member,
The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.^1
Within moments of the decision being released, Missouri became the first
state to activate its trigger law, banning abortion in the state with no
exceptions for rape or incest.^2 Less than one week since the decision, 12
states have banned abortion.^3 And in the coming days and weeks,
Republican lawmakers in at least a dozen other states will rush to further
ban and criminalize abortion.^4
To fight back, we are announcing a massive campaign to defeat the GOP this
November. Together, we are asking 1 million MoveOn members to pledge to
vote out Republicans and fight for abortion rights this November.

you a free "Our Bodies. Our Freedom." sticker as a thank you—it can help
broadcast this message farther and wider in your community.

John, state politicians—largely cisgender white Republican
men—intend to force us to give birth against our will.
When we have been sexually assaulted.
When the fetus has a fatal abnormality.
When having a child will kill us.
When we are in school.
When we cannot afford a child.
When our partner is abusive.
When we do not have the support to nurture a child.
When we are not ready.
When we are pursuing our dreams.
When we do not want a child.
It is gut-wrenching and terrifying. But we cannot allow this unthinkable
loss of freedom to lead us to cynicism and inaction.
No, no, no. That's why we are fighting back by announcing a campaign to
get 1 million MoveOn members to pledge to vote out Republicans this
November.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's preparations for being able
to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to
replace top election officials in battleground states with his own
loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our
23-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to
defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect
individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.
Will you chip in to power our campaign to defeat Trump and protect our
elections in 2022?
