In the past week, most of the national conversation has
been about the presidential election results — with good reason. And I’m
working to hold the line for our values and our freedoms against the
incoming Trump-Vance administration.

But looking further down the ballot, I also want to shine a light on key
state-level results in our fight for reproductive freedom. Last month, I
asked this team to support six coalitions fighting for abortion rights
with ballot measures in six states. Here’s what happened in those races:

Overturned State Abortion Bans

In Missouri, a group called Missourians for Constitutional Freedom fought
to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to overturn the state’s
total abortion ban — a ban with no exceptions even for rape and incest.
Voters passed the ballot measure and will ensure that families can make
their own decisions. While we’re at it, Missouri voters also passed higher
minimum wage and paid sick leave laws.

And in Arizona, Arizona for Abortion Access passed an amendment to repeal
the state’s ban and protect Arizonans’ reproductive freedoms, putting
decisions about pregnancy and abortion in the hands of patients and
healthcare providers — exactly where they belong.

Passed Proactive Constitutional Protections for Reproductive Freedom

Nevada voters took the first step toward enshrining abortion rights in
their state constitution by passing a ballot measure led by Nevadans for
Reproductive Freedom. This is a critical effort against anti-abortion
legislators in the state, and it will be on the ballot again in 2026 to
make it official.

In New York, New Yorkers for Equal Rights cemented the fundamental right
to reproductive freedoms in the state constitution so they are permanently
protected without political interference. The ballot measure — prop 1 —
also prohibits any government discrimination regardless of gender, age,
ethnicity, pregnancy status, disability status, or sexual orientation.

Fell Just Short

Floridians Protecting Freedom fought to put an initiative on the ballot to
end Florida's extreme abortion ban, give women and doctors the freedom to
make health care decisions, and maintain existing parental rights
protections in Florida’s constitution. They demonstrated the will of the
people by winning a clear majority — over 57% — but Florida requires a 60%
threshold for constitutional amendments. This was a heartbreaking result.

In Nebraska, another state with a total abortion ban, the Protect Our
Rights campaign had a ballot measure to end the current abortion ban and
give patients, families, and doctors the care they need without
restrictions. It fell short by just a few percentage points. Another
frustratingly close-but-not-enough result.

I’m grateful for everyone who threw themselves into these fights. The
victories will be life-changing. And even in defeat, the hard work
mattered — new groups have gotten together, new partners have fought side
by side, and they’ve strengthened their muscles for all the fights to
come.

Everyone who stood in front of supermarkets to collect petition
signatures, everyone who knocked on doors in the summer heat, everyone who
made phone call after phone call to voter after voter, everyone who
pitched in any amount of time or money they could — it made a difference.
I’m deeply grateful. The work will echo in new freedoms won and new
coalitions set up to achieve victories down the line.

You know, in 2022, when the far right finally achieved their goal of
overturning Roe, it was the culmination of decades of work — in state
houses, in state-level elections, in winning all the races that let them
stack the Supreme Court with right-wing extremists.

When Roe became law, and the far right saw women gaining more freedom,
they took it as a defeat, and they got to work. Now that a constitutional
protection has been ripped away from over half our population, it’s an
infuriating loss that we must work even harder to undo.

Ever since extremists on the Supreme Court overturned Roe, this team has
used our anger and our determination to fight back — together we’ve raised
over $700,000 to support abortion organizations that connect patients
directly to the care they need, help elect pro-choice candidates, and pass
ballot initiatives protecting the right to an abortion.

And we’re not stopping.

[ [link removed] ]As we face down right-wing extremists who will keep pushing their
radical anti-reproductive freedom agenda, can you chip in
$28 or any
amount to support the National Network of Abortion Funds? 100% of your
contribution will go to this vital organization. And if we can make a
difference for just one patient, that’s enough reason to stay in the
fight.

In the Senate, I will do everything I can to block Congressional
Republicans and the Trump-Vance administration from further restricting
access to abortion and attacking access to contraception and treatments
like IVF.

I will keep working to elect champions of reproductive freedom so that
when Democrats once again control the Senate, House, and White House, we
can pass a law codifying the right to an abortion.

I will keep pushing for judicial reforms like rebalancing the Supreme
Court by expanding it — so a handful of radicals can’t keep trampling over
our basic rights.

I will keep fighting to pass abortion rights protections at the state
level [ [link removed] ]while supporting organizations that connect abortion patients to
the care they need.

And I know I’m not alone. We make each other stronger in this fight and
all the fights to come.
And we must continue to look after each other.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
