I’ve been traveling to Eastern Kentucky the past few weeks to join rallies for reproductive justice and stand in solidarity with Kentucky families, and I want to tell you what I saw.
In Pikeville, we heard from Kentuckians who shared deeply personal stories about their own pregnancies, health related issues, and how the Supreme Court’s will impact others in similar situations.
In Ashland, on the Fourth of July, hundreds of Kentuckians locked arms to send a message loud and clear that we will not back down from this fight.
What I saw in Eastern Kentucky, and what I’ve seen across the Commonwealth, has shown me an important fact: From the hood to the holler, the people of Kentucky are fired up. We’re fired up to win back the freedoms that were taken from us by the Supreme Court, and we’re fired up to take back our Senate seat in November.
We can take our power back. We can build a Senate that works for all of us — not just Mitch and Rand and their powerful friends. Can you help me get one step closer to winning this November by chipping in $10 today?
For years, our rights have been under attack in Kentucky. They’ve wanted to not just ban all abortion, but block our Commonwealth from moving forward.
What the Roe v. Wade ruling from the Supreme Court means is that access to quality healthcare in rural areas, especially Appalachia, is now even harder to access. The ruling is an invasion of big government into our lives and is the strongest form of government overreach in modern history.
We cannot — and we will not be silent — about this. This is bigger than any political party, or candidate, this is about humanity. We will stand up and fight back, because the people of Kentucky are worth fighting for.
The time to act is now. Kentucky is fighting back.
Thank you.
Charles Booker
