John—

Now more than ever, we have to celebrate our victories — and last night
was a big one.

Pro-choice champion Marie Newman won her primary against anti-choice
Democrat Dan Lipinski in Illinois’ 3rd District by a decisive margin. This
wouldn't have been possible without you,
John.

Dan Lipinski is an anti-choice crusader. He votes wrong every time on
every bill, and he even regularly speaks at the extreme anti-choice March
for Life gathering. As if that's not enough, he's voted against marriage
equality, a living wage, and even the Affordable Care Act. All in a solid
blue district!

Still, people believed he was unbeatable, an entrenched incumbent who
benefited from high name recognition because his father held the seat
before him for nearly three decades.

But Marie Newman knew she could better represent the progressive values of
this district. She stepped up in 2017 to run against Lipinski as a
champion for reproductive freedom and NARAL was right there with her,
endorsing her early and helping build a powerful coalition, and engaging
our millions of members, including you.

reproductive freedom.

NARAL members rallied and phonebanked and knocked doors. And when Marie
narrowly lost in 2018, we jumped right back in with her when she stepped
up for a rematch against Lipinski this year. We pulled out all the stops —
including making more than 20,000 calls to voters in IL-03 thanks to
members like you. Along with our amazing allies, we got this champion over
the finish line in a massive victory last night.

Together, we did it. Marie’s victory is a victory for all of us, for
righteous fights, for strong women, and for believing putting people’s
freedom and dignity first is a winning strategy. [ [link removed] ]Join us in thanking
Marie for stepping up to fight for reproductive freedom.

Last night is also a victory for doing what's right. When I came to NARAL,
I promised you all that we would work together, organize, speak truth to
power, and fight for as long as it took to secure reproductive freedom for
all. Last night was a clear step towards that goal. And I want to thank
you, our members, for making it possible.

We have so much more to do and so much uncertainty ahead. But today, we
have even more evidence to show that our organizing matters — whether
that’s making phone calls from your home or knocking doors in your
community for a reproductive freedom candidate. NARAL will be coming back
to members like you with other ways to support reproductive freedom
candidates this cycle. So let's celebrate ourselves, each other, and Marie
for standing up for what's right.

Thanks for all you do,

Marie Newman's win in IL-03 shows what happens when the pro-choice
majority steps up and makes it clear that reproductive freedom is a
winning issue. Pitch in to keep up the momentum moving into November:
