Dear Team,

I've been meeting with allies on Capitol Hill all week to ensure they know how dangerous repealing the FACE Act will be. They're telling me that the bill will be debated TODAY as early as 10AM ET. [[link removed]]

Your representatives need to hear from you immediately—before the ONLY federal protection from violence that patients, providers, and reproductive health clinics have is stripped away. [[link removed]]

We can't sit by and let this happen. Thank you in advance for taking action now. [[link removed]]

In solidarity,
Nancy Northup

Subject: ACT NOW: Congress wants to greenlight violence against our clients

Team,
Just days after a deadly bombing outside a fertility clinic in California, members of Congress are pushing to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act— the only federal law that protects reproductive health clinics and places of worship from violence and harassment. [[link removed]]
SAY NO [[link removed]]
The FACE Act was passed in 1994 after a wave of anti-abortion violence, including the murder of Dr. David Gunn outside a clinic in Florida. The law made threatening patients or providers, or blocking access to care, a federal crime. But since Roe v. Wade was overturned, attacks have skyrocketed—including almost 300 death threats or threats of harm. Repealing the FACE Act would say loud and clear: violence against patients and providers is no longer a federal crime. [[link removed]]
TELL CONGRESS: NO REPEAL [[link removed]]
Earlier this year, President Trump pardoned multiple anti-abortion extremists convicted under the FACE Act. Some had broken into clinics, stolen fetal tissue, or harassed pregnant patients. Eight of them had targeted a Michigan clinic the Center for Reproductive Rights represents. [[link removed]]
These pardons sent a clear and dangerous message: this kind of targeted violence is acceptable. [[link removed]] Now Congress is trying to finish what he started by erasing the only federal protection clinics have left.
Repealing the FACE Act would endanger lives and embolden extremists. Demand your representative defend the FACE Act and protect people from violence. [[link removed]]
In solidarity,
