Take Control: Commit to Vote
The Supreme Court didn’t act alone when it overturned Roe. Well-funded anti-abortion rights politicians made it their mission to take away our rights.
Politicians hostile to reproductive rights, including many lawmakers on the ballot in November, have engaged in a decades-long, coordinated effort to control our bodies and our futures.
I pledge to use my voice and my vote this November, because I want to Take Control. When we all show up, we can take back power to control our bodies, our lives, and our futures.
