Elect a champion. Turn the tide.

Hi {NAME}, Laphonza Butler here — President of EMILY’s List. I know it’s been an incredibly tough few weeks for our pro-choice community, and I want to let you know I’m thinking of you in these scary, painful, and infuriating times. Here at EMILY’s List, our mission of electing Democratic pro-choice women has always been vitally important — but now, this fight has become a full-blown emergency. {NAME}, I’m reaching out because right now, in Michigan’s 13th district, we have an opportunity to turn the tide. By electing Portia Roberson, we can send a fearless advocate for women and a battle-tested progressive champion to Congress. But with voting already underway in the primary election, these next two weeks are our FINAL chance to put Portia over the top — and we can’t do it without your help. [We are in a true emergency for abortion rights and reproductive freedom, {NAME}. But the way we fight back is clear: by electing Democratic pro-choice women like Portia.

I know that as MI-13’s next voice in Congress, she’ll fight tooth and nail for a more just and prosperous future for every Michigan family — just like she’s done throughout her decades of advocacy. And when it comes to defending abortion rights, and our fundamental right to make our most intimate, important decisions for ourselves, Portia will never back down. Right now, every single voter needs to hear that message. Folks are hungry for leaders who will truly fight for them, but in such a crowded primary, there’s a real danger that Portia’s message will get drowned out. So it’s up to all of us to help her break through the noise and spread the word about the good work she’ll do on behalf of this district. It’s no question that this race will be decided by women. And the stakes truly could not be higher. The only way we can defend abortion rights — and pass critical legislation on other major issues, from fighting climate change to protecting workers — is by holding our Democratic majority in Congress. If we elect Portia, we’ll be one step closer to protecting abortion access for people in every state in our country. But to make that happen, we’ve got to activate Portia’s base of progressive women all across this district — and with Election Day coming up on August 2nd, we’ve got to do it FAST. [We’re down to the wire, {NAME}. And I don’t have to tell you how much this matters. If you’re as passionate about electing Democratic pro-choice women as I am, please chip in $10 or anything you can to help Portia spread her message far and wide and win BIG in August:]( [DONATE]( Thank you so much for showing up for the fundamental rights of millions of people, {NAME}, and for the better future Michigan deserves.
