Dear
John,

Whistleblower Dawn Wooten had everything to lose when she came forward this week with allegations of horrific medical and human rights abuses happening at the ICE detention facility in Irwin County, GA., where she worked as a licensed nurse.

You may have already heard some of the horrifying details from the complaint she filed on Monday - immigrant women being given hysterectomies without their consent or medical justification.

It could not have been an easy decision to speak out, especially as a Black woman and after already being demoted for raising questions internally with management. But she did it anyway.

It is because of Dawn Wooten's courage and conviction that the women whose bodies and human rights were violated at the Irwin County Detention Center are no longer invisible and alone.

We're putting together a thank you card for Ms. Wooten and would love to see at least 500 people sign it before midnight tonight. Will you sign the thank you card now?

What's happening in Irwin County is not an isolated occurrence.

Our nation has a dark - and not at all distant - history of forced sterilization and oppressive reproductive practices that have disproportionately harmed Black, Latina, and Native women, as
well as women with disabilities. And it's because of brave individuals like Dawn Wooten and tireless Reproductive Justice organizations, all of which are led by women of color, that we are now
having this important national conversation.

At the National Partnership, we want to lift up the lived experiences of women of color and be good allies of courageous organizations in order to achieve our ultimate goal of equity for all women.

Please join us in signing the thank you card to Dawn Wooten, and thanks for all you do to stay engaged in the fight for justice and equality.
