there’s too much at stake, John

John- I’m going to keep this brief.   We’re going to need all hands on deck to take back the House in November. There’s simply too much at stake to stay on the sidelines this year.  Your grassroots support has been crucial to powering our efforts to defeat the GOP and protect our rights. But, ther…

join Jan in the fight for reproductive rights

John- Our February fundraising deadline is tonight at midnight.  Since the GOP has shown they’re not letting up on their attacks on bodily autonomy, we’ve doubled down this month in our efforts to raise funds to defend reproductive freedoms.  We need to raise just $2k more to close our budget gap …

Donald Trump wants to ban abortion

John,  Donald Trump shared last week what we already knew: he wants to ban abortion. With the continued efforts of the GOP to restrict reproductive rights, this doesn’t come as a surprise. But, it does make it clearer than ever that we can’t let him back in the White House.  The GOP has carried o…

I need you to step up, John

John, Reproductive rights, voting rights, climate action, and gun safety are at risk.  The GOP has shown us that they are committed to dismantling our hard-won progress brick by brick. They’re showing no signs of stopping until they have destroyed our most valued rights and freedoms. Just last week,…

personal ask

John- I wanted to reach out personally.  This is our first chance of 2024 to show how serious we are about taking back the House. The GOP has wasted no time in ramping up their fundraising efforts. But, I know that even their mega-donors are no match for the strength of our grassroots movement. If…

the most important election of our lifetime

John- it’s not an exaggeration to say 2024 may be the most important election of our lifetime.   Our fundamental rights are on the ballot, even if they’re not listed by name. A vote for the GOP is a vote against reproductive rights, voting rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. They’re going to go after every…

Hi John, it's Jan.   51 years ago, the Supreme Court affirmed the legal right to an abortion in the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. It was a monumental step forward for reproductive rights nationwide.   However, two years ago, a new Supreme Court, dominated by Trump appointees, overturned this hist…
