========================
From the Women’s March:
Tonight, Trump is slated to announce his nominee for Justice Kennedy’s seat on the Supreme Court. We already know enough about who he will pick: someone with a stated opposition to abortion and women’s right to choose what happens to our own bodies.
This is a death sentence for thousands of women in the United States.
Don’t wait for the announcement. Take action NOW. Here are three things you can do:
- Become a monthly donor to Women’s March to support our work. We need to keep fighting harder every day, and we can’t do it without you.
- Sign this petition telling U.S. Senators that if they vote to confirm Trump’s pick on the court, you will vote them out of office.
- Hand-deliver a wire hanger to your Senators with a note attached telling them that with Trump’s pick on the Supreme Court, we risk going back to a time when women had to resort to using hangers to terminate unwanted pregnancies.
