Hi Friend,
As we wrap up a year that was full of growth, heartbreak, and resistance, we want to thank you for being with URGE every step of the way. With your continued support, we were able to facilitate and uplift incredible acts of organizing and advocacy by Black, Indigenous, and other young people of color, particularly those that are queer and trans. The following are just a few moments young people showed their power in 2022: -
When the Supreme Court denied the constitutional right to abortion and paved the way for half of the country to ban abortion, young people took to the streets;
- State legislatures, again and again, attacked the right of trans youth to live, learn, and thrive, and young people testified and protested;
-
As the twin perils of white nationalism and attacks on our democracy continued to sputter forward, young people rose up in righteous opposition; and
-
Despite many being denied the right to fully participate in our democracy because of their immigration status or experience with the criminal punishment system, or due to gerrymandering or other dirty tricks to deny or dilute their voting power, young people turned out in droves for the midterm elections.

We invite you to join us as we recommit ourselves in 2023 to the daily and year-round work of fighting for Reproductive Justice. With just a small donation you can help us amplify our reach and advocate for change that positively impacts the lives and well-being of young people and their communities. Together we can build a world where all of us have the power and resources we need to thrive. All the best and happy New Year, |
