Dear MoveOn member,
Look at this crowd! This is a group of nearly 1,000 of my friends and
neighbors showing up to make noise and fight for abortion access—in
Florida! We turned out on Wednesday to send a message that we'll defeat
the Republicans who seek to criminalize our health care and control our
bodies.
And if can turn out in Florida, where right-wing Republicans have launched
a full-on assault against abortion access, it's a reminder that we—the
pro-Roe majority—are everywhere! [ [link removed] ]Will you take the pledge to vote out
Republicans this November? You'll even get a free "Our Bodies. Our
Freedom." sticker!

On Wednesday evening, in Ft. Lauderdale, more than 800 folks showed up
with signs declaring "Roe, Roe, Roe the Vote," "My body is not your
political playground," ... and other messages I can't write in this email.
(Just look at the pictures!) It was organized by Broward for Progress—and
we're going to keep building this momentum through Election Day.
As a longtime member of MoveOn, when I started my local grassroots group,
I was just a mom who felt she needed to take action. MoveOn equipped and
empowered me and my co-leaders to go out and build power in our community.
On Wednesday, we got to come together with hundreds of other people who
wanted to take action for a "Bans Off Our Bodies" rally. Seeing the
diverse crowd, I am inspired knowing that our movement is growing and we
won't back down.
These types of actions are taking place all across the country—and we need
that kind of energy! We need to show Democratic candidates there's a
fired-up base ready for them to be champions on these issues, we need to
show the local and national media that abortion is at stake this November
... and we need to show other members of the pro–Roe majority that they
aren't alone, that we have the people power when we show up.
[ [link removed] ]One way you can start: Take the pledge to vote out the GOP—and get a
free "Our Bodies. Our Freedom." sticker you can display wherever you live.
And if you want to do more, you can organize friends and neighbors to
stage your own event just like we did in Florida! Make it a protest, a
rally, or a spontaneous gathering to promote abortion access. [ [link removed] ]Just
follow this link for signs you can download and print at home, courtesy of
MoveOn. Or, of course, you can make your own to show your community that
we are the majority and we won't take this quietly. You also can hang the
signs in your home, put them up around town, share them with neighbors, or
go hold them high on busy intersections or outside the offices of
Republican campaigns and elected officials. It's one way to be part of
this visible movement all across the country.
All across the country, folks are showing up—individually, in small
groups, at large protests, in conversations with family members and at
work, and at campaign offices, ready to support champions who will fight
for abortion access.
There are a lot of ways to show up for abortion rights—and voting is going
to be a critical part of it.
We need to hold the House of Representatives this November—the Democrats
have already passed bills codifying Roe's protections into law, and we'll
need the next House to do the same.
And we need to expand our Senate majority with two bold, progressive
champions who will commit to ending the filibuster to pass laws enshrining
abortion access into law—a stance that many of the leading Democrats for
open and contested seats have already taken.
Whether you're getting involved in your state's governor's race or
legislature fights or finding ways to help the champions in the closest
contests around the country, there are ways you can show up for abortion
rights this November—starting now.
So get involved! [ [link removed] ]You can start by taking the pledge and getting a free
sticker to contribute to a national, visible reminder of what's at stake
this November as we build toward actions, protests, town halls, and more
all across the country during the August congressional recess.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's preparations for being able
to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to
replace top election officials in battleground states with his own
loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our
23-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to
defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect
individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.
