Listen to Him

This is personal.

North Carolina’s sweeping abortion ban and restrictions on reproductive health care are harming real people. Bans on any health care put politics above people and put our futures on the line. Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor, and leaders of our state legislature won't stop until they eliminate our right to bodily autonomy.

“If I had all the power right now, let’s say I was the governor and had a willing legislature, we could pass a bill saying you can’t have an abortion in North Carolina for any reason.” ⎯ Mark Robinson, February 2023

Make no mistake, abortion is on the ballot. Every person should have the freedom to control what happens to their own body and decide if, when, and how they have children without government interference. Politicians have no business dictating our private health care decisions. We’re fighting to stop this government intrusion and put the power back in the hands of the people.

We're talking to voters in your community!

As of May 2024, we've knocked over 170,000 doors! We're having thorough conversations with voters on Mark Robinson's extreme views, ensuring they have the full picture before heading to the polls in November. Our most recent survey suggested that of the voters we spoke to, 65% of people weren't familiar enough with Robinson to have an initial opinion of him. However, after speaking with our canvassers, almost 70% of voters disliked him.

Our canvassing offices are based in Wake, Mecklenburg (two offices), Buncombe, and New Hanover counties.

But it's not just Mark Robinson who has attacked our right to reproductive health care.

When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, it opened the floodgates for hostile politicians to restrict or ban abortion access. North Carolina lawmakers rushed to pass a dangerous abortion ban, eliminating care after an arbitrary point in pregnancy. This ban included even more restrictions on abortion care and further decimating access.

The majority of North Carolinians support access to safe, legal abortion and we deserve better than lawmakers who want to strip away our right to bodily autonomy.

That's why we launched a targeted mail and digital program to hold these lawmakers accountable.

From the mailbox to the ballot box, voters will have the information they need to make an informed decision at the polls. Not only are we holding anti-abortion politicians accountable, but we're uplifting champions who have fought to keep access protected in North Carolina. We know how important it is to celebrate lawmakers who are advocating for the right to our bodies, lives, families, and futures.

Tricia Cotham promised to fight against any restriction denying us the right to basic health care. Instead, she flip-flopped and was the deciding vote to pass an extreme ban on abortion at 12 weeks. Pregnant people are forced to travel out of state to access abortion, seek care outside the medical or system, or remain pregnant against their will⎯and Tricia Cotham is directly to blame.

Ted Davis said he wouldn't support changes to North Carolina's abortion law. Instead, he cast one of the deciding votes to pass a dangerous abortion ban. North Carolinians who need an abortion after 12 weeks are forced to travel out of state, seek care outside the health care system, or remain pregnant against their will ⎯ and Ted is to blame.

Erin Paré is only committed to one thing, and it's eliminating your rights, one by one. Not only has she voted to criminalize doctors in North Carolina, but she had a pivotal role in upending abortion access in our state and, thus, across the South. We deserve better than politicians who don't care about us.

Michael Lee has voted to restrict abortion access SIX TIMES, most recently voting in favor of North Carolina's extreme abortion ban. Not only have his actions devastated our communities, but he is directly responsible for upending abortion access in North Carolina, and thus across the South. We deserve better than extremist politicians like him.

And we haven't forgotten to uplift our champions. 

We're running digital advertisements in support of Rep. Terence Everitt, Rep. Lindsey Prather, Rep. Diamond Staton-Williams, and Senator Lisa Grafstein. They have dedicated their time in public office to protecting our reproductive health and rights. We know how important it is to highlight these records and express gratitude for them.
