Message from NARAL President Mini Timmaraju
It’s been just two weeks since I took the helm of NARAL Pro-Choice America. And thanks to NARAL’s 2.5 million members who continue to contact lawmakers, speak out on social media, show up at rallies, and support our organization financially, my gratitude for our movement has only grown.
Two days from now, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case that poses the most grave threat to Roe v. Wade in 50 years—Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The Court, led by its anti-choice supermajority, could absolutely overturn Roe as a result of this case. If that happens, around half of the states in the country are poised to ban abortion, cutting off access to abortion care for millions of people. Most significantly affected by this shockwave of bans will be people who already face discriminatory obstacles to healthcare: women, Black, Indigenous & other people of color, the LGBTQI+ community, immigrants, young people, people with disabilities, and those working to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, over the last two weeks, two verdicts in closely watched court cases have reminded us of the interconnected challenges we face. The lack of accountability for Kyle Rittenhouse was a devastating blow, compounding our collective grief and leaving us painfully short of any semblance of justice or safety for our communities. And while I know so many of us are grateful for the shred of justice Ahmaud Arbery’s killers will face, no verdict can bring back Ahmaud and the countless others killed as a result of white supremacy, violence, prejudice, and hate.
We must continue to work towards true justice, dismantling racism and racist systems—and that includes fighting for reproductive freedom for every body.
