As we’ve seen from the last few days, the news cycle moves fast. The LA Times article feels like it came out six months ago, and it’s only been five days. That’s why we’re reaching out to remind you that we need your help to keep building momentum.

We are asking you to help in two way:

1.  If you live in California, please contact your reps and ask them to join us in calling for an independent investigation with public disclosure. You can easily do that using ResistBot, a free service that converts text messages into emails. We’ve created two petitions, one for Congressional reps and one for state reps.
   
   Text SIGN PGHZOY to 50409 for your Congressional reps and SIGN PHQICF to 50409 for your California state reps. You’re also welcome to contact everyone directly by phone or email or write your own message, but ResistBot is a very convenient and secure alternative.
   
   We’ve tried to make doing this as easy as possible, so we’re using the app ResistBot to do it. ResistBot is a widely-used platform for contacting government officials. We’ve created two letters (or in the app’s language, “petition”), one for Congressional representatives and one for Gov. Newsom and California legislature reps. It’s really easy, we promise!
    
2. Please write the LA Times a Letter to the Editor (form submission here or email letters@latimes.com) voicing your support for reproductive rights, abortion access, and bhforchoice’s calls for an investigation with public disclosure and an ordinance protecting the privacy of individuals seeking abortions in the city.

We need your help with this – we need you to take these steps, and we need you to tell everyone you know about it. Post it on social media (the ugly ResistBot graphics are on our instagram @bhforchoice, but we’re making our own soon). Text it to your friends.

Please, stand with us, because there’s a very good chance that if we don’t take a strong stand on abortion access in California now, we’re going to regret it in 2025. 

Sincerely, 
bhforchoice
