Friend,
Earlier this week, the Justice Department announced that they’re going to
monitor new anti-abortion bills in state legislatures, and while we applaud that progress, we need the Justice Department to commit to
swiftly cracking down on laws that restrict or ban abortions in the states.
We haven’t seen your name yet, friend, so if you’re with us, add your name and help us send the message that the Justice Department needs to challenge all state abortion bans that violate federal law.
Even Attorney General Merrick Garland admits: “Many of us feared that that decision would deal a devastating blow to reproductive freedom in the United States, that it would have an immediate and irreversible impact on the lives of people across the country, and that the greatest burdens would be felt by people of color. And those of limited financial means. Unfortunately, that is exactly what has happened.”
We need decisive and quick action from the Department of Justice as state legislatures return to session in the coming weeks. Add your name if you agree.

---Original Message---
Friend,
Today, anti-choice extremists are protesting at the Capitol as part of the “March for Life.” Let’s be clear: Their location switch from the Supreme Court is no accident. They know that SCOTUS’s decision to overturn Roe in June marked a win in the judiciary, and they're showing us their new priorities lie in passing a national abortion ban.
But we know that we’re a prochoice nation.
Just weeks ago, the FDA lifted outdated restrictions on medication abortion, allowing pharmacies to dispense these necessary medications, and ruling that the postal service is allowed to deliver them nationwide. And we need more leaders to stand up for our reproductive freedoms.
Stand with us and sign the petition to the Justice Department, asking them to challenge all state abortion bans that violate federal law.
Since Roe v. Wade was overturned and we lost federal protections for abortions, 14 states have banned all or most abortions, and many more have severely limited access.
When federal and state law is in conflict, federal law prevails. The Department of Justice must use its power to challenge all state bans that violate federal law.
If banning abortion is no longer unconstitutional, we must use every method at our disposal to restore abortion access. Sign the petition to the U.S. Department of Justice: Challenge all state abortion bans that violate federal law.
People deserve compassionate, accessible abortion care and deserve to choose what their care looks like. But until that's possible, we need to continue our work to stop abortion bans where they originate: in the states.
