Friend –

Abortion is healthcare, and no one should face criminal charges for accessing or providing it. That's the message you can send when you take part in the final days of our Year-End Match Challenge.

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the ACLU sprang into action, filing nearly a dozen lawsuits and fighting back against new bans introduced during special legislative sessions across the country.

We've seen the extreme lengths anti-abortion politicians will go to to take away people's ability to make deeply personal medical decisions – even threatening doctors with jail time for providing care to people.

And still, there are more threats to come. 2023 will mark our country's first session in decades without the federal protections of Roe. It is vital that we have as many resources as possible to combat increasing threats to our healthcare and bodily autonomy in 2023.

That's why it's so critical that loyal supporters like you show up in the final hours of our match challenge. Your support will fund our work to protect access to abortion in 2023, as well as all the other vital civil rights work my colleagues are doing across the country. Please, commit to a monthly donation today so that your first gift will be matched, doubling your impact to support defending abortion access and all civil liberties.

Match Deadline: 12/31

Without Roe, abortion access varies greatly from state to state. We've been combating efforts to force people to carry pregnancies against their will at all levels and in every corner of the nation, fighting abortion bans and restrictions in court, supporting mass protests across the country, and taking on new unconstitutional abortion bans. Together with our supporters, affiliates, and partners, we fought to pass the first citizen-initiated abortion ballot measure in history, which guarantees a state constitutional right to reproductive freedom in Michigan. But ACLU Supporter, there is so much more work to do and our fight is more urgent than ever going into 2023.

Can I count on you to show up for abortion rights and all our civil liberties today by becoming an ACLU monthly donor before our 12/31 deadline? When you do, your support will make twice the impact and prepare us to tackle the fight for abortion access and all our rights in 2023.

Don't miss your chance: Make your gift by 12/31 and it will be matched.

For all of us,
