Hi everyone— the Supreme Court has just overturned Roe v. Wade. I know that this decision will bring a lot of feelings to you— grief, anger, sadness, rage, despair. I want you to know you are not alone. And I want you to join me in channeling those feelings into action. There are many things we can do RIGHT NOW to stand up against this decision.

First, I want to encourage you to sign the petition to protect access to abortion in Texas, started by Ash, a fellow colleague from Pro Choice with Heart. States are working quickly now that the decision is official, and other states will look to Texas as a template for restrictive legislation. The trigger law that is currently in place in Texas will make abortions a felony.

Next, you can take a moment to click here to send a letter to your senators right now. They have the power to offer federal protection for access to abortion, and we must demand that they act now to protect their constituents.

If you’re still feeling at a loss, I wanted to share resources so you have what you need to make a plan to control your reproductive future. For resources to get birth control, emergency contraception, and abortion pills, visit this website. The website has options for both insured and uninsured Americans. For safe abortion care, there is a helpful page from Planned Parenthood.

I want to reiterate again that you are not alone. As of this moment, almost a quarter of a million people have signed this petition. It is so important that right now we stand together – and fight back.
