Hi John xxxxxx,

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once said, “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.” At Her Bold Move, we exist to make that happen—especially in states where majority-male legislatures are writing laws about women’s bodies.

Since its founding in 2020, Her Bold Move has supported hundreds of women across the country, including me. Today, I am proud to say that they are joining me in standing with Aftyn Behn in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District Special Election.

Before I share more, Aftyn is in a primary that is coming up fast on October 7th. Will you chip in a split contribution of $20.25 or more today and join me in supporting Her Bold Move and Aftyn Behn for Congress?

I know firsthand what happens when men in power pass laws that strip women of control over our own health. When my pregnancy developed fatal complications, Tennessee’s abortion ban forced me to carry until my life was in danger. Speaking out became my only option. I told my story in front of the state Capitol, in Congress, and to anyone who would listen — because silence never protected anyone.

And every step of the way, Aftyn Behn was there. Long before she ran for office herself, Aftyn was organizing alongside women like me, pushing back on Tennessee’s abortion ban, and amplifying the voices of those harmed by it. In the state legislature, she didn’t just vote the right way — she fought publicly and unapologetically against Republican attempts to criminalize healthcare, control our bodies, and punish families in crisis. When others looked away, she leaned in. When they tried to silence us, she gave us a microphone.

Pictured: Rep. Aftyn Behn, D-Nashville, stands at her desk during a legislative session Tuesday, April 23, 2024, when the Underage Abortion Trafficking Act, a law criminalizing adults who "intentionally recruit, harbor, or transport" an unemancipated minor to get an abortion without notarized parental consent, passed in the majority-male TN legislature 74-24. Behn filed suit against the law.

That’s why I believe so deeply in Aftyn’s campaign for Congress. She has proven, time and again, that she will never back down when it comes to protecting our fundamental rights. She knows these fights aren’t abstract policy debates — they are life-and-death struggles for women, mothers, and families across Tennessee.

This race is about more than politics. It is about whether women’s lives and freedoms will continue to be treated as negotiable. Tennessee took my choice away when I needed it most, but I chose to fight back. And today, I am choosing to fight alongside Aftyn Behn, because she has been in this fight from the very beginning.

Aftyn’s campaign really needs to raise $30,000 in the next 10 days. Will you join me in helping her hit that goal by pitching in a split $20.25 or more contribution between Her Bold Move and Aftyn’s campaign today?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be processed immediately and automatically split between Her Bold Move and Aftyn Behn:

My promise to my daughter Miley Rose is to never let her name die with her. I will keep telling the truth, and I will keep backing women who fight for us. Aftyn is that woman. She belongs in the room where decisions are being made — because those decisions are about our lives, our health, and our futures.

With love,

Allie Phillips
