Dear John,
I'm excited to announce that the winners of our 2022 Jan Allen Courage Award are Senator Gladys Robinson and Rep. Julie von Haefen! Sen. Robinson was elected in 2010 and Rep. von Haefen in 2018, and they have both spent their time in office fighting for the rights of women and families.
During her tenure in the NCGA, Sen. Robinson has championed over 125 bills which sought to ensure funds for health care facilities, drug treatment and mental health centers, Medicaid expansion, paid sick days and efforts to decrease maternal and infant mortality. Most recently, she has been a co-sponsor of the Codify Roe and Casey Protections bill introduced in the NCGA.
In the NC House, Rep. von Haefen has helped her caucus coordinate their defensive response to anti-choice bills, authored budget amendments that would remove state funding for fake pregnancy centers that exist primarily to bully people seeking abortion care, and worked diligently to educate other lawmakers about CPCs and the harm they bring to local communities.
I hope you will join us on September 22 at Lead with Lillian [[link removed]] , where we will present the Courage Awards to Sen. Robinson and Rep. von Haefen.

Lead with Lillian [[link removed]] will raise funds to ensure our Featured Candidates have the resources and support they need to win and protect abortion access in North Carolina. Last week, a federal judge allowed NC's 20-week abortion ban to be reinstated. But conservatives will not stop there--they said this is "just the beginning" [[link removed]] . Our Featured Candidates for the NC General Assembly will be the last line of defense to preserve our rights. Let's come together to protect our access!
We'll be joined by many of our 2022 Featured Candidates for the NCGA, as well as Congresswomen Deborah Ross and Kathy Manning .
I'm looking forward to seeing you in September. Get your tickets or sponsor today! [[link removed]]
In solidarity,
Sarah Preston
