Last week we learned about how extremists are now targeting more of our reproductive rights. This isn’t just happening in red states — this trend is affecting every single one of us, no matter where we live. And even though some may try to deny it, Republican representatives at the state and federal level are talking more openly about taking away our rights to IVF and birth control. We have the receipts — their statements AND their voting records.
It might sound hyperbolic — we know it’s hard to imagine this could happen in the United States — but we’ve seen it happen before. Just watch this video and listen to the way Supreme Court Justices promised Roe v. Wade was settled law, then overturned it. Now extremist legislators see a path to continue to strip away all our reproductive choices.
Extremists are coming for our rights. Stay tuned to learn how you can help us come for their jobs.

Gerrymandering is when during the routine process of redistricting, politicians create voting districts that favor their own party in elections. Politicians shouldn’t pick their own voters! This is unfair to all voters and often leads to the underrepresentation of...
