What we must do to #StopKavanaugh

It’s been a rough few weeks following the Supreme Court confirmation hearings. From the very beginning, we knew Brett Kavanaugh was a dangerous pick for the Supreme Court. If he's confirmed, it’s very likely that Roe v. Wade would be overturned and more than 20 states would quickly ban abortion in most or all circumstances.He’s made clear that access to birth control, LGBTQ equity, immigrant rights, and voting rights will all be in jeopardy.And now, he has been accused of sexual assault -- an act that should itself disqualify him from ever becoming a Supreme Court justice.Everyone’s been asking you to call your senator or sign a petition -- and you might be thinking, “but I live in DC! What can I do to stop Kavanaugh?” Here’s three things you can do right now:

  1. Donate to DC Abortion Fund! Abortion funds like ours are going to need your dollars more than ever before if Kavanaugh is confirmed. We know that overturning Roe v. Wade or limiting access to abortion -- especially coupled with limiting access to birth control -- is not going to end abortion. In fact, we anticipate that the need will only grow.

  2. Call Congress. Yes, even if you’re a DC voter, you can call Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley and tell him why Kavanaugh is a dangerous pick. If you live in Maryland or Virginia, you already know what to do.

  3. Invite a friend to take action. Invite them to call their Senators (especially if they’re in a key state!) and donate to DCAF or a fund in their state.

DCAF supporters and leaders are speaking up in front of the White House, at the steps of the Supreme Court, and on the phone with their senators to #StopKavanaugh.And they’re donating to DCAF (over $3,000 during our Taco or Beer Challenge alone last week!) because they know our work is more important than ever. Our supporters know that no matter what happens, our patients will count on DCAF and its incredible volunteers to make sure people will still be able to access abortion care. Will you join them?
