Right now in Wisconsin, a law from 1849 (yeah, 173 years ago!) is preventing women and pregnant people from accessing abortion services.
That’s some B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T.
And this is not news. This near-total abortion ban has been in place in Wisconsin since the day Roe was overturned. But there’s something you can do about it *today*.
The 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court election is our chance to defeat the conservative majority on the WI Court – the body that could end up deciding whether or not this 173-year-old law stands.
And with the primary coming up in February, we need to start organizing ASAP to elect a judge who will protect fundamental rights in Wisconsin. Make your end-of-year gift right now to support our work to secure abortion access in Wisconsin and nationwide >>>
This is a bit long – but it’s important context for why we need your urgent support – so we hope you’ll take the time to read it.
Right now, there’s an ongoing legal battle to overturn the 1849 abortion ban in Wisconsin – the lawsuit is making its way through the legal system as we write this email. Ultimately, however, it’s likely this case will go all the way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
There’s a 4-3 conservative majority on the court (which doesn’t bode well for the future of abortion rights in the state) – but with an upcoming judicial retirement, Wisconsin voters will have a chance to tip the balance of their state’s highest court this spring.
That’s all to say: winning the Supreme Court election in Wisconsin is *critical* to our movement and our feminist future. And we’re not leaving anything to chance. The time to start mobilizing is NOW.
Our work won’t end there. Wisconsin is a critical state for the 2024 elections and a top priority for our organizing efforts. Your support will go a long way to helping us reach women voters and build the foundation our movement needs to succeed in elections to come.
Thank you,
Women’s March
