Dear John,

Exciting news--We'll be sharing a special video message from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer at Lead with Lillian on Sunday, September 29 at 3pm at the Blue Hill Event Center in Chapel Hill.

Governor Whitmer served in the Michigan State Legislature in both the House and Senate before being elected Governor in 2018 and again in 2022. As a champion for women and reproductive freedom, she played a major role in repealing a 90-year-old abortion ban in Michigan and enshrining the right to abortion in the state's constitution after Roe vs. Wade was overturned. 

Sponsor or get your tickets to Lead with Lillian today!  

Right now, contributions to Lead with Lillian are being matched by a generous donor, up to $10,000! Let's keep the momentum going and remember that we must elect pro-choice, progressive women all the way up and down the ballot this November. Protecting our access is not only critical for the people of NC, but for the entire South as the majority of our neighboring states have passed total or almost total abortion bans.

I hope to see you at Lead with Lillian later this month!

In solidarity,

Montica Talmadge

Interim Executive Director
