Monthly Newsletter
August 2022
Dear Friend,
I don't have to tell you what's on the line this month. Since Roe v. Wade has been overturned and Florida's 15-week abortion ban took effect, Republicans have now set their sights on an ALL OUT abortion ban. We must stop them in their tracks -- and the only way to do that is at the ballot box.
We're just weeks away from the August elections, and Ruth's List has 39 endorsed candidates in races across the state. Candidates like Ashley Gantt in HD 109, who is running against the ONLY Democrat that voted for the 15-week abortion ban. Candidates like Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book, who will never stop fighting for our reproductive rights in Tallahassee. And l ocal school board candidates like Damaris Allen and Dawnyelle Singleton, community leaders whose priority is making sure our students receive the highest quality education, not advancing a misguided political agenda. We have an incredible slate of women candidates this cycle, and you can check out our full list of endorsements here. [ruthslistfl.org/endorsements]
If you've thought about making a donation before but haven't yet, now's the time. If you're a monthly donor who can give a little more, we need it! Your support enables us continue to recruit, train, and elect Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ballot and build the bench for years to come.
I've been working on campaigns for over a decade, and I've never been more fired up to win elections than I am this year. It's an honor to work for such a dedicated, tenacious group of women, and to see the groundswell of support they're receiving from donors, volunteers, and voters. Let's pull out all the stops and help these women across the finish line on August 23rd!
Onward,
