Friend, I know people across the country are reeling from the devastating consequences of the far-right Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Like many of you, I am bracing myself for the terrible stories of women who will be denied abortions in the weeks, months, and years to come.

I see the pain and rage of so many – and I’m angry too. This decision went against our very democracy and against the will of the American people.

This decision was not a fluke nor an accident. It was part of a calculated and organized effort to rob women of their right to bodily autonomy.

While we cannot fix this problem in the immediate – we must urgently amplify our organizing and electoral efforts to support marginalized people, win important elections, and send leaders to Washington who will actually fight for the issues we care about.

Look, I’ll be honest – I can’t fix abortion rights by myself. But if we win this race, we’ll stop another far-right anti-abortion politician from getting into Congress, where he will no doubt support calls to ban abortions nationwide. And that’s a start.

Team, as a former Planned Parenthood staffer, I’ve fought for abortion rights with everything I have — and I won’t stop now. Can I count on you to chip in 3 towards my critical $5,000 daily goal, which could make or break my campaign? »

Thank you, really – I’m in this fight with you every step of the way.

In solidarity,

Daniel Hernandez
Democratic Candidate for Congress (AZ-06)
