“Negotiating” on our reproductive freedom is unacceptable, and we will hold every elected official accountable who refuses to defend our fundamental rights.

As this fight for our health care continues, any attempts by congressional republicans and their anti-abortion allies to use this process to further attack access to abortion must be a red line for democrats.

This is a new low, even for this administration. We are grateful to the congressional democrats who fought to defend our health care and the dignity of our friends and neighbors.

Since Roe fell, voters in red, blue, and purple states have protected abortion access, and Pennsylvania just reaffirmed that freedom wins.

State Supreme Courts are the last line of defense for our rights, and tonight, Pennsylvanians made it clear: decisions about our bodies belong to us, not politicians.

This is what people power looks like: voters across the spectrum rejecting anti-abortion politicians and standing up for freedom, democracy, and the right to control our own bodies.

It’s on all of us to call out this behavior and also to build politics and communities rooted in compassion, dignity, and care for one another. When we normalize calling people “illegal,” and share other harmful rhetoric, we open the door to policies that strip people of that humanity.

Dehumanization of immigrants and marginalized communities didn’t start with Donald Trump, but he’s weaponized it in ways that put millions at risk.

Why? Because I’m a first generation immigrant and a naturalized US Citizen. And this administration has shown its willingness to kidnap without due process anyone that doesn’t seem American to them and continues to bully and try and silence its critics in the process.

Voters in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia have the power to say enough and to elect leaders who care about families, freedom, and the future we all deserve.

Election Day in PA is November 4 (this upcoming Tuesday!), and it's more important than ever to make your voice heard to fight for reproductive freedom.
