The New York Times just reported: State legislatures are now the last line of defense for abortion rights. Supreme Court Throws Abortion to an Unlevel State Playing Field
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade shifted the abortion fight to state legislatures, where gerrymandering has given Republicans an advantage.

That’s why your support for the DLCC is so critical – we’re the only official party committee solely dedicated to electing Democratic state legislators. Plain and simple, when Democrats are in charge at the state level, abortion rights are protected. So let’s get more state Democrats in office all across the country. This November, we can elect state Democrats and save abortion access for millions. But the strength of our impact depends on the action we take TODAY. Will you rush a donation of $7 or whatever you can to elect state Democrats who will defend abortion rights now that federal protections are gone? It’ll be matched 5X through midnight on Monday >> If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
Abortion access is front and center right now in the wake of the Supreme Court’s devastating ruling, but it’s one of many issues where state legislatures now have a starring role. The New York Times also said that “the Supreme Court is turning states into battle zones” on “voting, immigration and civil rights” – even “climate change.” Not to mention, state capitals have to step in when Congress isn’t able to get anything done. And if you’re tired of hearing about filibusters obstructing progress, remember: the filibuster in the U.S. Senate can't stop YOUR state legislators from protecting our democracy. So if you’re looking for a place where your dollars will go the furthest and make the most progress on the most pressing issues we face, look no further than the state level. State legislative elections often come down to a handful of votes – so $7 or any amount you can contribute would go a long way to elect Democratic state legislators who will defend abortion rights and fight for our values. Please pitch in if you can – your $7 donation will be worth $35 through Monday night. We’d be so grateful – we can’t do this work without grassroots donors like you >> Thanks for your input, Team DLCC
5X-MATCH: DONATE >>
