What you can do to fight back this week (July 23)

  • 0 Comments
  • by: ProgressNow Colorado

This past weekend, a strange political convention came to town. Democrats for Life of America (DFLA), an anti-choice organization claiming to be the “pro-life voice and wing” of the Democratic Party, hosted its inaugural conference in Denver ahead of the 2018 elections.

Representative Jovan Melton, Representative Leslie Herod, and Senator Rhonda Fields joined ProgressNow Colorado, NARAL, and Compassion & Choices to call them out.

Progressive values are not up for debate. Progressives support abortion rights. The national and Colorado state Democratic platform both stand strongly in defense of “reproductive health, rights, and justice.” Democratic lawmakers must stand up for abortion rights, not support policies that punish, stigmatize and hurt their constituents.

Action item #1 this week: sign our petition affirming that defending abortion rights is a non-negotiable progressive value. We’ll make sure every Democratic lawmaker in Colorado gets the message.

Thanks for taking action to protect abortion rights and Democratic values! Here are more great ways to take action for the week of July 23:
