John—

Remember waking up the day after the 2016 election?

As a Black woman, I woke up terrified — for my family, my community, and the millions of people across the United States whose lives would be changed forever by an extremist administration.

I couldn’t fathom how we could pride ourselves on being a country based on freedom and at the same time elect a person who so openly campaigned on taking away our rights.

Over the last 4 years, we’ve seen just how dangerous Trump and his enablers have been. And while we can’t change the past, we can make sure that we wake up on November 4th knowing that we did everything we could to elect reproductive freedom champions. So here’s what I need you to do:

✅ Make a plan to vote! If you’re planning on voting in person on Election Day, take a second to confirm your polling place so you know exactly where to go to cast your vote.

✅ Already voted? (Go you!) Share your early voting photos with us by tagging @NARAL and using #ReproFreedomVoter.

✅ Make sure your friends and family have a plan to vote. Whether you send a message in your old college group chat or call your grandparents on their landline, make sure the people in your life are ready to vote. YOU are the best person to motivate your loved ones!

✅ Help get out the vote at the NARAL TAKEOVER of the Women for Biden GOTV Marathon this Tuesday! With so many races polling neck-and-neck, the one on one conversations we have these next couple days could be the difference between winning and losing.

It’s been a long 4 years, but if we all step up in these final two days, we can flip the Senate, kick Trump out of office, and ensure that reproductive freedom is for every body.

Let’s go win this thing!
