WATCH: In Response to SCOTUS Opinion Overturning Roe v. Wade, Cheri Stands Up for Reproductive Freedom
On Tuesday, Cheri spoke with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell about the importance of protecting the right to constitutional reproductive freedom. She shared her expertise as the former Chief Justice of North Carolina on the draft SCOTUS opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, making it clear that reproductive freedom is a constitutional right. Cheri also talked about what’s at stake with this election - with every Republican running in the Senate race supporting severe restrictions or bans on the right to an abortion.
Cheri, Veterans and Military Families Launch Veterans for Beasley
This week, Cheri met with veterans and military families from across the state to launch Veterans and Military Families for Beasley, showing their commitment to elect Cheri as North Carolina’s next U.S. Senator. Read What Mo McPhaul, veteran in Cumberland County and Cheri had to say below:
“I’m proud to have served my country in the Air Force for almost two decades, and I know so many veterans who feel the same. But it’s past time North Carolina had a real leader in Washington to fight for us. I know Cheri Beasley will be the leader in Washington we deserve, and that’s why I’m proudly supporting her for U.S. Senate.” - Mo McPhaul, veteran in Cumberland County.
“My husband Curt and I raised our twin sons here in Fayetteville, and we have seen the sacrifice veterans and military families have made to keep our country safe.” I also know that Washington has not done enough to honor its obligation to our veterans, with many veterans facing barriers to accessing affordable health care, housing, and economic opportunities after returning home. In the Senate, I will stand up for our veterans and their families.” - Cheri Beasley
