State lawmakers are attacking reproductive rights on a national scale and the Supreme Court could gut Roe v. Wade in the coming months -- meaning access to safe, legal abortion is in jeopardy.
Here's what I need you to keep in mind: Governors play a huge role in the fight for reproductive freedom. Earlier this month, I filed a lawsuit and used my executive authority to urge the Michigan Supreme Court to resolve whether Michigan's state constitution protects the right to abortion.
Governors and state legislatures are crucial to the fight to protect reproductive rights. But we can't do it alone. The fight is ongoing, and to protect our reproductive rights we'll need to elect a lot more pro-choice leaders to offices up and down the ballot this year.
So, if you can, make a $7 donation to the DNC to help keep up the fight. Every penny of your donation will go straight toward the critical investments our party is making to help Democrats win this November so that we can protect reproductive rights for millions of Americans.
As the only party committee tasked with electing Democrats at all levels of government and in every ZIP code across the country, the DNC is fully committed to defending and flipping seats up and down the ballot this November.
It is crucial to invest in voter protection services, build up our grassroots volunteer network, strengthen our data and technology infrastructure, and so much more. With our essential freedoms hanging in the balance, these programs are as important as ever.
Don't wait till it's too late to get involved in the fight -- this moment is too important to sit out. If you can, chip in $7 to the DNC today.
Thank you for being on this team,
