Indivisibles,

We wanted to make sure you didn’t miss our e-mail from last week --
same-sex marriage and access to contraception have both passed the House,
and the ball is now in the Senate’s court to advance them. 

This is a big moment to ensure more of our rights are not stripped away by
the Republican Supreme Court in the future. One of the most common
refrains in defense of the court’s heinous decision is that if Congress
wanted these rights enshrined through federal protections, then they
should have passed those policies.

Now is the chance for them to do that. 

Sen. Schumer said yesterday that Democrats did not yet have the ten
Republican votes they need to pass same-sex marriage or contraception
access. Let’s make sure they get them.

to Contraception and Marriage Equality Acts today! 

Let’s get these rights codified without delay. 

In solidarity,

Subject: Breaking: Call now to protect contraception access and same-sex
marriage

Indivisibles,

It has been a wild few days:

* On Tuesday, the House passed the Marriage Equality Act meant to codify
rights for same-sex marriage into federal law by a vote of 267 to 157
with support from all House Democrats and just 47 Republicans.
* Today, the House passed the Right to Contraception Act meant to codify
access to contraception into federal law by a vote of 228 to 194 split
roughly along party lines with only 8 Republicans voting in favor of
contraception.

You read that right -- 157 Republicans voted against same-sex marriage and
194 Republicans voted against access to contraception.

When the Dobbs decision came down a month ago, buried in Clarence Thomas’
concurring opinion was a passage stating that the Supreme Court should
reconsider its rulings on same-sex relationships, same-sex marriage, and
contraception access. At the time, pundits and politicians across the
country rushed to reassure the American people that these fundamental
rights were not in harm's way. The last two days prove otherwise.

Our champions in the House answered the call for action, and moved these
bills forward. We now need the Senate to step up and pass these two bills
immediately.

Honestly, it’s going to be very difficult to get 10 Senate Republicans to
vote for this bill and avoid the filibuster. But, we know that these bills
are widely popular -- the American people do not want their access to
contraceptives to be at the whim of state-level elected officials nor do
they want their family members denied the institution of marriage.

We cannot allow the MAGA-led rollback of our rights to continue -- not
while our senators have the power to intervene. Voting against these bills
would be wildly unpopular and put these politicians’ careers in jeopardy
(which is why we saw some House Republicans vote with Democrats on these
bills). Let’s make sure Republican senators know it too!

We cannot afford to wait. We’ve already seen that the majority of
Republican elected officials are fine with these basic rights being
stripped away. Let’s do everything we can to support these bills in
becoming federal law before another fundamental right is revoked.

In solidarity,
