Six groups fighting to protect reproductive freedom from Republican attacks

Republicans are relentless in trying to control women’s bodies and take away our freedom. We have to continue being relentless in defending it.

In states across the country, including in Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio, Arkansas, Mississippi and North Dakota, Republican lawmakers are pushing through extreme and unconstitutional bills to strip women’s rights, control their bodies and ban abortions. And Republicans aren’t even hiding their ultimate goal: to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that affirmed a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion.

As Republicans feel emboldened with a misogynist in the White House and anti-choice activists on the Supreme Court, our allies and partners on the frontlines who are fighting to protect abortion access, especially for women of color, women living in poverty and LGBTQ people in the reddest of states, now need our support more than ever.

We’d like to highlight six groups fighting in the trenches for abortion access and economic and reproductive freedom. CREDO donated $1,000 to each of these groups, and if you’d like to join us, you can click here to make a donation today.
