Dear John,

Elections have consequences. As our reproductive rights bear the brunt of these consequences, our ability to fight back often boils down to resources: information, funds, and helping hands. 

If these resources didn’t matter, Republicans wouldn’t be working so hard to take them away. As soon as the new Presidential administration was sworn in, they shut down ReproductiveRights.gov, a White House-sponsored website with free, accurate, possibly life-saving information on contraception and abortion care. The confiscation of such resources is one step further in restricting our right to autonomy, and the women most negatively impacted by this decision are those who live in states like Florida, where abortion is all but banned.

John, I’m asking you to keep fighting because I believe that if we keep the faith, we can win. To get the resources and information that we have a right to back in our hands, we need women on the front lines advocating for us. Can you chip in today to help us recruit, train, and elect strong women leaders who will put our rights and our healthcare first? 

We’ve experienced less than a month of Trump’s Presidency so far, and he’s already signed orders to restrict abortion access nationally and to cut off resources to healthcare organizations around the world who are trying to bring reproductive care to patients in need. Women, in Florida and beyond, deserve better. 

To keep up our work, we need the resources to keep fighting. I hope we can count on you. 

Keep Fighting,

Christina Diamond
