Stop Stupak Day of Action is Today!

Picture of the US Capitol. Pass Health Care Reform! Stop Stupak!
Today is the National Day of Action against the Stupak-Pitts Amendment. I am spending the day on Capitol Hill with folks from all over the US to tell our legislators health care reform must not further limit access to abortion.
If you’re not in DC today there are still plenty of ways you can get involved and make your voice heard. Here are some ways to take action:

I’ve been consistently impressed by the Stop Stupak Coalition, which formed and organized this Day of Action more quickly than I could have imagined was possible. Today is an important moment for the abortion rights community to make our voices heard. Please take action in whatever ways you can to make sure we don’t lose even more ground on abortion access.
