Monthly Newsletter
July 2022
Dear Friend,
It's hard to believe we're a little over a month out from Florida's primary elections. Here at Ruth's List we're rolling up our sleeves and getting down to business like never before. Since the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and Florida's 15-week abortion ban going into effect, the stakes for women have never been higher.
As you've seen, we have been rolling out endorsements with a fever pitch -- already closing in on 100 Democratic pro-choice women candidate endorsements this cycle. 38 of those candidates are facing August primaries . If we're going to reclaim our reproductive freedom, we must turn out in force next month and stay engaged through November.
That's where you come in. We need your help to turn the political tide in Florida. Join our network of volunteers on the ground, make sure you're registered to vote, and donate whatever you can to help us recruit, train, and elect the next generation of women leaders. Let's show DeSantis and Florida Republicans that we demand more from our government representatives and we won't let them trample on our freedom.
Onward,
