It’s been a little over three months since the Trump-packed Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and since then, we have seen the appalling realities pregnant people are now facing to access basic health care.

Let that be a reminder to us all exactly how crucial this year's midterms are for our future.

If Republican extremists win their gubernatorial elections, they will work to restrict abortion access in their states even further or criminalize patients who need care.

If they take control of Congress, they will obstruct any attempt to protect reproductive rights and work to pass a federal abortion ban.

And if Big Lie-believing Trumpers gain the authority to oversee our elections, they will make way for Trump to steal the election in 2024 and pass that federal abortion ban into law.

We can't let that happen. Our power lies in numbers: We're the majority. Eighty percent of Americans believe that abortion should be safe and legal. All we need to do now is to help them turn out to vote on November 8.

The good news: We’ve got a secret weapon–a tried and true tactic–for making this goal a reality. Did you know that reminding three friends to vote is five times more effective than phone banking or canvassing?

We have the power to choose leaders this November who believe in an America for all of us. Talking to family and friends about what’s at stake in this election is the way we win.
