Friend –

Jen's email below lays out the ACLU's detailed plan forward in the fight for abortion access. As she explains, overturning Roe v. Wade has opened the floodgates for further attacks on all of our rights – and it's going to take dedicated monthly support like yours to fight back with the full strength we need.

The same extremists working to take away our ability to have an abortion, are putting so many other freedoms – everything you and the ACLU have fought so hard for – at risk in ways we haven't seen in generations. Everything from our right to use birth control, marry whom you love, and even the right to vote.

But we can't – and we won't – let them get away with it. The ACLU has the nationwide and multi-issue infrastructure to lead in this urgent fight back. We're on Capitol Hill, in the courts, statehouses, and on the ground in all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico. And our reach extends not to one but every major civil liberty under threat.

This will take sustained effort to continuously push back against this all-out assault on our fundamental freedoms, ACLU Supporter. And a monthly pledge is the best way for you to support this ongoing, urgent work.

Please, become a monthly donor today and ensure our teams of lawyers, advocates, and experts have the resources they need to relentlessly protect and defend our fundamental freedoms.

Friend –

We are at a crisis moment in this country. The Supreme Court has used its power not to defend our freedoms, but to take away a constitutional right vital to so many people's lives.

So, once again, it's up to us – you and the ACLU. We have to commit right now to doing everything we can in this alarming new landscape – to achieve a world where everyone has the abortion care they need – no matter where they live or how much money they have.

And to be clear, we have a plan to do this. We just need to know you're with us.

So please, make your monthly pledge now to support the ACLU's long-haul efforts to take to the courts, to state legislatures, to the streets, and to the voting booths to defend access to abortion and to protect all our fundamental freedoms.

ACLU Supporter, with lawyers, experts, and advocates in all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico, the ACLU is uniquely positioned and qualified to play a central role in the response to this devastating decision. We've prepared for this moment and with your monthly support, we'll use the full force of our organization to fight back as hard as it takes – for as long as it takes:

• Together, we will proactively expand abortion access wherever possible – while fighting against new bans nationwide. We have already helped pass state legislation protecting or expanding abortion access in Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. And at the same time, we continue our work nationwide to defeat, delay, or improve new abortion bans proposed in state legislatures.
• We'll help health care providers innovate and adapt. We will help clinics, abortion providers, and other organizations design ways to support patients seeking abortions while minimizing the legal risks to them and their patients.
• We'll react swiftly and decisively in the courts. Collaborating closely with Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights, the ACLU will deploy rapid response litigation teams across the country in an attempt to preserve as much abortion access as possible – for as long as possible.
• We'll organize our millions of members, activists, and supporters for change. Through the ACLU's People Power advocacy network, we'll hold politicians who push extreme anti-abortion laws to account – urging our massive community to call their representatives, sign petitions, take to the streets, and more.
• We'll drive political advocacy and mobilization efforts nationwide. Our teams are working relentlessly to protect voting rights through litigation and advocacy. We're also deeply engaged in several abortion measures on the ballot. And we're deploying our vast resources to ensure abortion is at the center of the public debate for all elected officials this November.

Is that an ambitious agenda? Absolutely. It has to be. That's the only way we can fight back – and win. And we can win, but we need your immediate and sustained support.

Given the tremendous battle we have before us, please take a moment today to become a monthly donor and protect abortion access and all our civil liberties.

The ACLU has fought for our core freedoms for over a hundred years, and we have the staying power to fight for hundreds more. We will never give up. We hope you won't either.

Thanks for all you do,
