A draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade was just leaked. This is an all-out assault on reproductive freedom. But it is not final -- now is time for everyone to stand up, get involved, and join the fight to defend reproductive rights. politico.com/news/2022/05/0…

Two years ago I started brainstorming with Matt Lesser about the need for a state-level voting rights act in CT. Today, the Connecticut General Assembly passed the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of CT. This legislation will be the most comprehensive state-level VRA in country.

That’s why I’ve been working with incredible people like Michael Pernick at Legal Defense Fund, Aseem Mulji & Valencia Richardson at Campaign Legal Center, and @yurijrudensky at Brennan Center to push for State Voting Rights Acts. States can give voting power to people of color even if SCOTUS won’t.

The #ClockIsTicking in Michigan. We have a chance to pass a voting rights act that will protect the right to vote of all Michiganders. The nation needs your example a leader in voting rights now. Keep Michigan on the map as a voting rights leader and pass the MIVRA this week.
