John, ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, Democrats in North Carolina have been working overtime to protect abortion rights in the state.

We have a Democratic Governor on our side, which we’ve relied on heavily so far. But even now, the GOP is plotting as we speak!

This fundamental freedom is under threat across the country, and GOP leadership is hell bent on passing restrictive abortion laws – moving the needle backwards and risking the progress we’ve fought so hard for.

But John, here’s even worse news: Republicans in the state legislature are CONVINCED that they can turn moderate Democrats to join their dark side, flip their votes, and support the GOP’s agenda.

These are the urgent consequences we’re facing – but believe me when I tell you, we WILL counteract this attack the best way we know how: by rallying behind progressive values and gaining grassroots support from people like you to fight back.

John, abortion rights are personal to me.

I underwent fertility treatments for over a year before becoming pregnant with my beautiful daughter Aaliyah.

During that time, I suffered an ectopic pregnancy where I had to make the difficult decision to have an abortion.

Here I am today because I CHOSE to have an abortion that saved my life. A choice that I made for myself.

The right to choose should not be left in the hands of government officials to make, but rather our own. I need you to stand with me to guarantee that we keep control of our own bodies.
