REMINDER: Mifepristone is still safe, effective, and widely available!

And I’m going to keep fighting to make sure it stays that way Friends, you likely saw this news about the latest in the court battles around abortion medication, but I want to flag this very important reminder: Mifepristone is still safe, effective, and widely available.  And I’m going to keep figh…

What the Ohio election results mean for the future of abortion access in America

We need to press our advantage Friends, By now, you’ve likely heard the news that, just last week, Ohioans rejected - by a huge margin - a ballot measure that would’ve made it harder to pass a Constitutional amendment. The election was seen as a proxy for abortion rights - Democrats were working on …

The hottest month on record

This is a reality not up for debate: The climate crisis is real, and it’s happening right now.  July 2023 has officially been confirmed as the hottest month on record globally.  That probably isn’t surprising to any of us who set foot outdoors last month - or kept up with news story after news stor…

Why I’m asking you for a donation right now

I’m going to be really honest with you Friends, I’m going to be really honest with you right now. I know that may be rare to find in your inbox these days, so brace yourself:   I know it can sound a little absurd on the surface to be asking you to make a $5 donation in July, more than a year before …

Here’s where we stand on Sara’s July goal

A dollar donated today goes a whole lot farther than one donated closer to the election. Hi team, sharing a quick update on our July fundraising goal – here’s where we stand: Look, $2,500 may not seem like much in the grand scheme of political cash. But Sara set this goal because if there’s one thin…

If we’re going to retake the House in 2024, Democratic incumbents like myself are going to have to step up our fundraising efforts to hold our ground.Hi friends, did you see this headline from Politico?   In the wake of that crucial FEC fundraising deadline we had last month, it’s becoming crystal c…

Why I voted NO on the $886 billion NDAA

Hi friends, how are you?   Over the last few weeks, one of our biggest priorities in Washington has been working on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2024 - a routine military spending bill that sets our defense policies and funding limits for the year.   It’s an important bill for m…

The Supreme Court has lost the faith of the American people

Friends, I’ll keep this short, but it has to be said: The Supreme Court has lost the faith of the American people.   From the absolutely gutting Dobbs decision that we’ve spent a year grappling with to the slate of deeply disturbing decisions just this month, I know a lot of folks are reeling and s…

What it means to be an ally

Friends, let’s talk about allyship. The term “ally” gets thrown around a lot, and for good reason. In the progressive community, the idea of showing up for marginalized groups has become a big part of how we support one another in this work. And of course, this is a critical concept for white and ci…

It was never just about abortion

Hey friends,   Exactly one year ago today, the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that our constitutional right to abortion doesn’t exist. By ignoring half a century of precedent to overturn Roe v. Wade, they deemed us not worthy of a fundamental right like bodily a…

Friends, later this month we’ll mark one year since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization - the ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. But that ruling didn’t just overturn Roe.  For so many of us, the Dobbs ruling overturned our lives and our futures. It shattered …
