At this moment when the legal right to an abortion is under dire threat, the Religious Action Center and the Women of Reform Judaism are proud to support the nationwide Women’s March occurring on October 2^nd. The upcoming Women’s March happening in DC and cites nationwide comes ahead of the October 4th opening of the Supreme Court’s new term. We are joining in the march to send a unified message to the Supreme Court and lawmakers across the country that we are committed to standing against the relentless attacks on abortion care and fighting for reproductive freedom.

The Freedom to Vote Act was introduced last week by a group of key Senate Democrats, which will increase voter accessibility, establish automatic voter registration, ensure votes are recorded on paper ballots, restore voting rights for formerly incarcerated people, and end partisan gerrymandering for redistricting U.S. House districts. The Reform Jewish Movement, long believing that the freedom to vote is fundamental to American democracy, strongly supports legislation that protects the rights of all citizens to exercise the right to vote. Urge your Senators to support the Freedom to Vote Act here.

The Women’s Health Protection Act is being voted on this week in House. The legal right to an abortion is meaningless if it is not accessible. Since 2011 alone, more than 573 state laws have been enacted to restrict abortion access. As a result, providers are denied the ability to provide necessary medical procedures, and patients are unable to obtain the health care services they need. This Act would put a stop to these coordinated attacks on reproductive freedom by establishing a statutory right for health care providers to provide and their patients to receive, abortion services free of restrictions, and bans that delay or obstruct access to care.
