Dear John,
Yesterday's U.S. Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization reversed Roe v. Wade, the constitutional protection that pregnant people have had for nearly half a century to legal abortion. In doing so, the highest Court in the land has effectively handed immense power over women’s bodies to state legislators.
While this is a disturbing and sickening setback for gender equity throughout the nation, Lillian’s List was built for just such a moment. We have always known Roe would not be enough to protect access to abortion and that conservatives in NC’s legislature would not stop until abortion is banned in the state.
The North Carolina General Assembly is our last line of defense against anti-choice forces intent on dismantling access to abortion and reproductive health care. Republican House Speaker Tim Moore has already said that abortion restrictions will be a "top priority" in January's legislative session, making our work of electing pro-choice women this November all the more important.
Lillian’s List is the only organization that recruits, trains, and supports women who are champions of reproductive freedom in seeking election to public office in the state. The best way to ensure that abortion remains legal in North Carolina is by supporting our mission, work, and candidates.
Will you make an investment in Lillian’s List today? [[link removed]]

North Carolina will be the closest access point for abortion in much of the Southeast because many of our neighbors have or are poised to enact strict abortion bans or restrictions.
Investing in Lillian’s List is investing in protecting legal abortion in North Carolina.
Thank you for being in this fight with us. Right now, we need all hands on deck and hope that you will help us spread the word and please make your contribution today [[link removed]] .
In solidarity,
Sarah Preston
Executive Director
