Team,

Last week, extremists on the far right held our troops hostage while endangering reproductive rights in the military and promoting policies that would hurt readiness and unit cohesion.

We can’t let extremists threaten our military. Our team knows how to expose and defeat extremists. Will you contribute so we can help lead the efforts to stop the attack on our military?

Because many service members don’t have a say in where they are stationed within the country, many women in the military are currently serving in states where their reproductive rights are not recognized. If they need reproductive care, the current Department of Defense policy grants them leave and reimburses their travel expenses.

Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama was so upset by this (very reasonable and decent) policy, that he unilaterally held up every defense nomination — directly harming our military.

Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas — who attacked Alaska’s ranked choice voting system last year — called the Pentagon policy “abortion tourism.”

Folks, this is not okay. The far-right has been systematically attacking reproductive rights for decades, culminating last year in the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Now they’re directly insulting and threatening our troops.

Please, will you pitch in to help us call out this childish behavior and restore common sense?

Thank you, friend.
