Hi John,
This is Bradley Whitford. I’m an actor and you might know me as the character Commander Lawrence in The Handmaid’s Tale. Some of you might know a little bit about the dystopian world depicted in that show, but I’m writing to you about the very real stakes for so many women and marginalized communities if we don’t act against the far-right’s agenda.
The Supreme Court’s takedown of abortion rights for millions of Americans is a strong reminder of the collective trauma and reproductive violence disproportionately inflicted upon Black, Latina, and Indigenous women -- and trans people -- for generations. The kind of trauma and violence that hurt and killed many people far before a fictional story like The Handmaid's Tale was conceived.
Remembering our history, honoring the resiliency and progress made, and fighting like hell to protect hard-fought freedoms -- with strength and urgency -- is how we’ll win this fight, John.
Abortion and reproductive health care are critical. It's a unique freedom that came after decades and centuries of forced pregnancies and sterilization, high mortality rates, and countless acts of violence.
We cannot go backwards as a nation. To defend reproductive freedom, we must restore abortion access in Wisconsin, codify Roe, and defeat far-right extremists who want to strip away our reproductive freedoms.
Wisconsin is central in the fight to codify Roe. We can either elect leaders like Gov. Evers and AG Josh Kaul -- who fight like hell to protect reproductive freedom, or far-right leaders who will enforce a 19th-century abortion ban as the law of the land.
We need to invest in Wisconsin like our rights depend on it -- because frankly, they do. That’s why my friends at The Democratic Party of Wisconsin are counting on your help to raise an ambitious $100,000 to organize and mobilize voters all across the country. Can you chip in $5 to The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and help us stop this far-right nightmare?

Thank you,
-- Bradley Whitford
