I’ve been thinking about this election for a long time, and now it is just 12 days away.
I thought about it when I stood in a sea of pink hats on the Boston Common on that bright winter day.
I thought about it every single time this administration tried to repeal or gut the Affordable Care Act.
I thought about it when politicians in the U.S. Senate ignored several allegations of sexual assault and confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.
And I thought about it this past weekend after learning the Trump administration was concocting plans to strip the transgender community of their basic dignity by erasing them under federal law.
I thought about this moment so many times. And now this moment is almost here – Election Day is approaching, and we need to make the most of it. Key races are close and too many people don’t have a plan to vote, don’t know who represents them, or feel their vote simply doesn’t matter. It’s up to us to remind voters that their voice is critical. We can’t elect strong reproductive rights advocates to the Massachusetts State House without each and every one of them.
Will you volunteer next weekend to canvass, phone bank, and turn out voters in key districts across the state? With your help, we can unseat the most radical opponent of safe, legal abortion in the Massachusetts State House. And by knocking on a few doors, we can protect the transgender community from discrimination in Massachusetts with the Yes on 3 ballot campaign.
Thank you for standing with Planned Parenthood patients, immigrants, survivors, transgender people and everyone who has been attacked by this administration. Now is the time to unite, show our power, and make sure all of us have the freedom and opportunity to lead a healthy, full life. Our moment has come. Let’s make the most of it.
