Please rush a contribution to help Tina Smith protect the Democratic Senate Majority and defend reproductive freedoms across the country

The Supreme Court is taking up a case about medication abortion. Here’s what this means:

That’s why I’m fighting for the Protecting Access to Medication Abortion Act.   john — Last week, the Supreme Court announced they are taking up a case about mifepristone, one of the nation’s most common medication abortion pills. This is the same Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. W…

Holiday slump

With control of the White House, the Senate, and the House all on the line, the stakes are sky-high.   john — We have some not-so-great news: our fundraising has slowed down significantly this month. We get it — it’s the holiday season, and people aren’t checking their emails as often…
