Friend,

As a woman, the rhetoric out of Trump and his enablers scared and disgusted me. As a mother, I felt that it was my duty to fight for a better, safer country for my children. So, I joined The Lincoln Project to take action.

Since joining, I’ve been able to work with people from across the country, representing a wide range of political and world views and experiences. 

You might read Stuart’s thoughtful emails and enjoy Reed’s Twitter quips, Friend, but I want you to know that there is a group of passionate creative people behind the voices that make up The Lincoln Project.

One such group is what I endearingly call the #LincolnLadies. From a video prodigy to data wizzes, I’m proud to work alongside these passionate women. 

Last month, when Texas decided to turn its back on Roe vs. Wade, we all nearly exploded. Our chat rooms had dozens of messages rolling in as women across our organization – and across the country – were expressing their anger, feeling traumatized, and fed up. I know many of you felt that anger, too.

We used our anger and passion to drive our work forward, and now we’re taking one more literal step forward. While we all gather in Washington, D.C. for the Women’s March here, we’re with all women marching across the country in solidarity. I’m especially proud of The Lincoln Project for sponsoring the march in one of the centers of the fight – Austin, TX.

Whether it’s women’s reproductive rights here in the U.S. or rallying for women and girls in Afghanistan, I’m proud to work with a political team that allows me to drive forward to the women’s issues that matter most to me. 

If you happen to see us at the Women’s March, please say hello! And if you’re marching in your state or your loved ones are out in the streets, please know we are right there with you. 

March on, 

Ryan Wiggins
