John,
Overturning Roe v. Wade was just the start for far-right extremists who want to take away our constitutional rights and freedom.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, sixteen states have enacted laws banning most or all abortions, with most laws including zero exceptions for rape or incest.1 And last week, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham introduced a bill that would ban abortion after 15 weeks nationwide — the exact point at which many people learn of severe fetal defects or other high-risk factors that will impact their pregnancy.
No one should face prison time because of an abortion, a miscarriage or for seeking the care they need.
Color Of Change PAC is working to elect district attorneys nationwide who will commit to reproductive freedom and not prosecute a person who seeks or has an abortion. But we can’t do it without your support. Will you pitch in $10 or more to our $10K mid-month fundraising drive to help us power our organizing in the critical midterm elections?
Cycle after cycle, I’ve witnessed how COC PAC has worked to elect progressive district attorneys dedicated to reforming our broken criminal justice system. And now, that work is even more urgent as district attorneys have the power to decide whether to prosecute abortion or other pregnancy outcomes.
In 2020, 64 district attorneys pledged not to criminalize abortion if Roe v. Wade was overturned. In 2022, it's more important than ever for them to keep their promises, especially in states controlled by Republican legislatures.
About 70% of local prosecutors run unopposed. We can change that, and work to ensure that every American understands the importance of electing pro-choice candidates up and down the ballot. Make a gift of $10 or more to our $10K mid-month fundraising goal to help elect district attorneys nationwide who will refuse to criminalize pregnancy!
The legal reasoning behind the SCOTUS opinion has set the stage for right-wing legislators to come for other rights next, from birth control and privacy rights to LGBTQ+ marriage equality.
This fight is for all of us. We will not back down.
Until Justice Is Real,
Jennifer Edwards
