Hi John,
Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, it hasn't taken long for the torrential downpour of unsurprising and tragic abortion horror stories to fill the media waves.
From a Texas woman having to wait in excruciating pain for her ectopic pregnancy to rupture before receiving life-saving care to a 10-year-old rape survivor forced to travel to another state to get an abortion — and not to mention the 13 states with trigger laws in place —
we are in the bad place.
But we don't have to live here forever. We can
resist. State and local elected officials are now the protectors of reproductive rights in the U.S. It's up to us to Run for Something.
Do you want to transform anger into action? Learn how you can do something about it by signing up to run for state or local office today.
Whether it's elected district attorneys refusing to prosecute abortion care, city and county jurisdictions deprioritizing police funding for abortion services, or winning enough state legislative seats to repeal trigger bans entirely,
local elections matter BIG time.
That's where you come in. Run for Something is growing and supporting a diverse legion of young progressives ready to take on these deplorable bans and anti-abortion elected officials in every single state. But we just need more passionate people like you to take that next step.
It doesn't matter if you've never run before, whether or not you have a fancy degree, or whether you're just starting out in your career — the biggest requirement is that you
care about your community and that you're
ready to do the work.
We'll be there to support you throughout the entire process.
John, we can't back down for one second. We need more pro-choice candidates to run for office in communities everywhere. If you care about abortion access, learn how you can Run for Something today.
Let's fucking go,
Amanda Litman
Co-Executive Director
