POWER OUR 2022 CAMPAIGNS TO VICTORY
It hasn’t been easy to get here, team.
FIRST → With an extremist-packed U.S. Supreme Court, we knew it was possible that Roe v. Wade would fall this year. Our team identified Michigan as a key state for abortion access and partnered with organizers and activists on the ground to launch “Reproductive Freedom for All,” a first-of-its-kind ballot measure campaign that, if successful, would protect abortion access in Michigan for good and lay the groundwork for other states to do the same.
THEN → Word of this campaign spread to every corner of the state, and Michigan made history once again as over 750,000 signatures were collected from Michigan voters — almost double the amount needed to qualify — who turned out to sign petitions to get our reproductive freedom measure on the ballot.

NOW → The Michigan Supreme Court has recognized the will of the people and certified the measure for a November vote! Direct democracy has prevailed and the power of ordinary voters won — but this will NOT be the last time that extremist obstructionists attempt to derail the process.
We’re fighting back against anti-abortion extremists and doing everything in our power to make sure this campaign wins. Will you contribute now to supercharge our efforts and power our 2022 campaigns to victory?
