| Dear Friend, The Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade has triggered chaos all over the country as people scramble to access the abortion care they need anywhere, any way they can.(1) Some are facing life-threatening pregnancy complications. Others, unsure where to go or whom to trust in states where abortion is banned, will have to navigate care on their own and at great risk. The reality is that as long as abortion is banned, lives and livelihoods are at stake. But instead of taking urgent action, some Senate Democrats are acting like there's nothing they can do -- which is complete nonsense. Democrats have the power to reinstate the protections of Roe v. Wade immediately if they vote to bypass the filibuster rule -- and President Biden just called on the Senate to do just that.(2) But Senate moderates like Dianne Feinstein won't do it unless they feel overwhelming pressure from their constituents. We're mobilizing our hundreds of thousands of members to demand action to legalize abortion now, but we need an influx of funding to help flood Capitol Hill with phone calls and turn up the heat. Will you donate $5?
It's not enough for senators to give sorrowful speeches, blame Republicans, or attack the Supreme Court. They must act. As you read this, countless thousands of pregnant people are scrambling to figure out how they can travel hundreds of miles to the nearest abortion provider, take time off work, find a place to stay, and get child care for their kids. Some are victims of rape or incest. Others are facing life-threatening pregnancy complications. Many won't have the money or resources they need to travel and will be left with no options. Friend, we can't just wait the years or decades that it will take to replace the radical right-wing majority on the Supreme Court. We must demand that Democrats act immediately to bypass the filibuster rule and restore abortion rights in all 50 states. Will you donate $5 to help mobilize the grassroots support that we need to win? Yes, I'll donate $5 to help legalize abortion in all 50 states. Yours in the fight for reproductive rights, Irene, along with Amber, Angela, Annie, Isidra, Jay, Lindsay, LisaMarie, Mai, Mai, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage PAC team)
