Mallory: Honestly, how can people be so cruel?

Robert,
Planned Parenthood just sent a fundraising email to their donors, begging them to make an “emergency” donation to “fight” the pro-life legislation being introduced in fifteen states that would save the lives of babies with heartbeats.
Honestly, how can people be so cruel?
After seeing this disturbing email, Susan B. Anthony List has decided to divert emergency funds to fight back against attempts by the Big Abortion lobby to roll back life-saving laws in states all across the nation.
Also -- I’ve forwarded you Planned Parenthood’s disturbing email below.
For LIFE,
Mallory Quigley
Vice President of Communications 
Susan B. Anthony List

Subject: Stop abortion bans from spreading

FIFTEEN states have introduced bills that would outright ban abortion at six weeks of pregnancy — before most people even know they're pregnant. Our constitutional right to abortion care is on the line.
Make an emergency gift to Planned Parenthood Action Fund to defend reproductive rights today.
Here's an alarming headline you may have missed: Last week, legislators in Georgia passed an extreme six-week abortion ban — and more than a dozen other states have introduced similar legislation this year. If enforced, these blatantly unconstitutional bans will immediatelyput patients' lives at risk and criminalize doctors for providing basic medical care.
We refuse to sit by and watch as our rights and freedoms are rolled back and patients are denied access to the health care they deserve. Planned Parenthood Action Fund is ready to fight — but with so many of these bills moving rapidly through state legislatures, we need your support. Step up with an emergency gift to Planned Parenthood Action Fund right now and help us defend reproductive rights wherever they're under attack.
After Brett Kavanaugh took his seat on the Supreme Court, extremist state legislators wasted no time rushing to pass severe abortion bans. From Georgia to Mississippi and Florida to Texas, these laws will be devastating for people seeking safe, legal abortion care. Give now so we can continue fighting to defend reproductive rights everywhere.
Let's be clear — these are not isolated attacks. Anti-reproductive health activists have been working for decades to overturn Roe v. Wade and erase our right to safe and legal abortion.
Now states are actively passing extreme laws that restrict access to abortion care.Legislators are passing these harsh bans in the hopes that the new Supreme Court will uphold them — and worse, ban all abortions, everywhere, for any reason.
Our constitutional right to abortion care is on the line right now. That's why we're focused on defending every person's right to safe, legal abortion — no matter what.
These attacks are serious, and more of them crop up every day. Make your gift now to Planned Parenthood Action Fund and defend safe, legal abortion and reproductive rights for ALL.
These abortion bans are exactly what happens when politicians try to stir up people’s emotions by spreading lies. The political games on abortion do real harm to women's health and shame families who need medical care. The lies have to stop. It's absurd that today — more than four decades after the Supreme Court affirmed the constitutional right to abortion — we still have to defend this basic right.
If our opponents think we'll back down or turn away from that fight, they've got another thing coming. We'll never stop working to make sure every patient has access to the care they need. And that's a promise.
Thank you for supporting our work today — we couldn't do this without you.

Michelle: I believe every girl on the planet deserves the same kind of opportunities for an education that I’ve had

Image
Hi there, When I was growing up, the classroom was one of the first places that helped me find my voice. I learned a lot in school—my multiplication tables, how to structure a paragraph—but also how to raise my hand, push myself, and speak my mind. I believe every girl on the planet deserves the same kind of opportunities for an education that I’ve had, and that’s what led us to start the Girls Opportunity Alliance—to support adolescent girls' education around the world. It’s also what brought me to Vietnam this week to meet with some of the inspiring girls and leaders who are part of our incredible community.   At Cần Giuộc high school, I had a chance to spend time with young women who are determined to get an education—often against great odds. They shared their hopes for themselves and for their families, and they shared how the support they receive from local organizations has helped them to stay in school and build a brighter future.  I hope you’ll take acti...

Bernie: super PACs and the billionaire class want to block that path

Image
Robert - I want to talk about what we did  last night : after starting in the polls in Wisconsin down more than 40 points, we finished the election with a HUGE margin of victory. We're also going to come away with a strong majority of the delegates. We are on the path to the Democratic nomination for president. But I want to be clear:  super PACs and the billionaire class want to block that path in the New York primary. We very much expect an unbelievable amount of attacks and negativity over the  next two weeks .  But I also expect that if we all stand together, starting right now, we can come out of New York with another victory. That's why I have to ask you directly: Contribute $3 to our campaign to help us continue our momentum from Wisconsin with a victory in New York in less than two weeks. One of the first sentences I wrote to our supporters after we launched our campaign was something few people heeded: People should not underestimate us. T...

My black history was not white enough for the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.

 It's me the President of the Black Independent Party. Robert  Gilyard.  First black man to get a law degree from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith in 2007. The first class that graduated from the college.. I am black history in Fort Smith Arkansas. But the whites at the University of Arkansas is bringing their own form of black people to represent our city and they're supposed to be representations of black folks from our city. How can I respect my Alumni when I see the same issues that were there when I was a student. These black folks don't do nothing but go to a college. Then go home. They ignore us. But they are the white people's favorite. Now we have to listen another year and watch them applaud them people that don't give a fuk about us. Because that's how black folks are in this area. They're just like white people they just have black face on. Over a hundred years our people in this town are ignored. And when we finally get a little bit of a...

Jeff: up the pressure in the Senate to combat climate change.

Image
    I have exciting news, Robert: On Tuesday, President Obama announced a  permanent  ban on Arctic drilling, a groundbreaking move which will protect this pristine region and its sensitive ecosystems for decades to come. You did this, Robert : This announcement is the direct result of citizen advocacy like the petition you and I and thousands of others signed to protect the Arctic Ocean from gas and oil drilling.  Together, we stood up for our planet by calling for a ban on Arctic drilling – and our efforts have paid off. There’s no doubt Donald Trump will try to undo this ban – and while the law is clearly on our side,  we must remain vigilant and ready to block any attempt at reversing President Obama’s decision. Our fight to stop climate change is far from over, and I’m working hard every day to keep up the pressure in the Senate to combat climate change. Thank you for fighting with me.

Take our Budget Priorities Survey to let Adam know what you want Democrats fighting for in the weeks ahead.

Image
  Friend — Voters, supporters, and organizers across the country elected our Democratic majorities and President Biden to force change. To rebuild our economy, save our planet from the climate crisis, and rescue our democracy from the abuses of an authoritarian cult of personality surrounding the former president. Mitch McConnell should not get to decide which bills Congress passes in this once-in-a-generation opportunity to carry out that mandate. So while the Senate negotiates a bipartisan infrastructure deal, we need to make sure that the budget reconciliation package — which can pass with 50 Democratic votes — includes robust investments not only in roads, tunnels, and bridges but also in families and workers. Take our Budget Priorities Survey to let Adam know what you want Democrats fighting for in the weeks ahead.   Team Schiff Budget Priorities Survey TAKE THE SURVEY The reconciliation package is a critical opportunity to address climate change, expand Medicare, invest ...

Jeff: What does it mean to be part of the resistance

Image
    Robert, The time for mourning is over. If Donald Trump follows through on half the things he talked about on the campaign trail, we’re in trouble.  And the early signs are that he intends to do just that. Add your name right now and let’s build the movement to fight back! What does it mean to be part of the resistance to Trump? When people are attacked for who they are, or where they come from,  we will fight. When the Administration hands over our clean air, water, and lands to corporate polluters,  we will fight. When human rights, civil rights, and voting rights are under attack,  we will fight. When the interests of Wall Street and corporate conglomerates are placed ahead of working families and the health of our planet,  we will fight. It means taking action. I’m going to be on the front lines of these fights in the U.S. Senate, and I’m going to need you with me.  Join me and let’s stand up for our values together! Jef...

Kirsten: the latest Off The Sidelines podcast!

Robert, One of the many things Minnesota’s Amy Klobuchar and I have in common is that people don’t believe we are senators! In fact, both of us have been mistaken for the wife or employee of the  same  male senator. You don’t want to miss the full story in the latest Off The Sidelines podcast! I'm excited to share conversations I had with Amy and our colleague Heidi Heitkamp about what got us off the sidelines and interested in pursuing public service. We also spoke about Amy's recent book and what issues a Senate full of women might tackle. I had a great time talking to Heidi and Amy, and I think you’ll enjoy them, too! Click here to listen to my conversations with Heidi and Amy on the newest episode of the Off The Sidelines podcast! Thanks for tuning in, Kirsten P.S. It is unbelievable people still see men as leaders and women as wives or employees – but the more women run for office, the sooner that will change.  Chip in $5 to Off The Sidelines t...

There’s no other way to say it. Today is a big day.

It’s the day we officially celebrate breaking ground on the Obama Presidential Center. And we wouldn’t be here without the unwavering support of people like you—people who donated, volunteered, shared stories, and supported our vision all along the way. Of course, our work has never been just about a building. We are dedicated to helping  community leaders develop the skills they need and build the relationships that will empower them to change the world. That’s why President and Mrs. Obama took a moment yesterday, as part of our groundbreaking celebrations, to sit down with the latest cohort of Obama Foundation Scholars from the University of Chicago.  This inspiring group is working to increase diversity in Chicago’s technology sector, support women entrepreneurs in India, promote arts education that revitalizes neighborhoods, and much more.  We’re just getting started. There are wonderful things in store for the Obama Presidential Center and the young leaders it will s...
