John,
Tuesday, I was arrested at the Supreme Court while protesting for abortion rights.
My colleagues and I put our bodies on the line because we will leave no stone unturned in our fight for justice. We refuse to tolerate a handful of far-right extremists controlling what decisions we can make with our bodies.
We don't care what a far-right extremist Supreme Court that is in a crisis of legitimacy says. Its racist, sexist, classist, and ableist ruling won't stop us from accessing the care we need.
That’s why this week Sen. Tina Smith and I introduced legislation that would codify protections for access to abortion medication so that we can ensure everyone in this country can have access to an abortion — no matter where they live.
I’m not backing down in this fight, but I can’t do this work alone, John. Will you chip in $5 to help power our movement’s work advocating for abortion care? It’s going to take all of us working together to push back against anti-abortion extremists and defend our rights.
I don’t want to downplay this. We're currently witnessing the most dangerous attacks on reproductive rights in our lifetime.
This is what Republicans have been working toward for decades. But we won't let the GOP tell us to hide or be ashamed for demanding our right to reproductive freedom.
That’s why last year I spoke publicly for the first time about getting an abortion after I was sexually assaulted at the age of 17. And although it doesn’t get easier to talk about — I know it’s an important story to share so that we can understand the urgency of this moment as the GOP heightens their attacks against access to abortion.
I’m going to continue sharing all of our stories and putting my body on the line until reproductive justice is a reality in every corner of our country. If you want to support this work, chip in $5 or whatever you can so we can continue advocating and legislating for abortion care.
At this moment, we must show up. We must stand up. And we must care for and support our community. Make no mistake about it, this impacts each and every single one of us.
It's not over. It's changed, but it's not over.
Your Congresswoman loves you,
Cori
