Move On – Dobbs Signs

Posted on September 7, 2022

Days after the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe, abortion rights are all everyone is talking about—friends, political leaders, journalists, and more. It’s crucial to make sure that continues. Abortion rights are on the ballot this November, and we can’t let anyone forget it.

Here’s one immediate way you can help: Print out these signs (or make your own!) to hang in your window, distribute in your local community, and proudly show that we are going to fight, vote, and win for abortion rights in our communities and on the national stage.

Here are a few of the signs you can print at home:

Whether you bring these to your local Fourth of July events, hold them outside your local Republican campaign offices to send a message, hang them on community bulletin boards and in shops and cafes, or proudly display them at your home or workplace or on your car or bicycle, you’ll be helping create a national visual display of what’s at stake this November. And it really will make a difference for folks from all walks of life to see these signs and these messages:

  • Our neighbors and communities—the vast majority of whom agree abortion access should be protected and restored, who need to know they aren’t alone, and whose votes will be crucial in November. 
  • Democratic candidates who need to see that being outspoken champions for our health care and bodily autonomy are what voters are clamoring for in this hostile political moment. 
  • Republican candidates—who are praising the Supreme Court and planning more and more restrictions, including a nationwide abortion ban, if they take the majorities in the House and Senate—and need to know we will oppose them every step of the way.
  • Local journalists—so media coverage won’t ever treat this unprecedented attack as business as usual and will accurately reflect the angry, motivated Americans who are about to become a driving force this political cycle.

Let’s be real: Telling people to vote on its own isn’t enough. We need to be honest about what we’re voting for and voting against.  

Democrats in the House have already passed a bill that would restore and strengthen abortion rights. Republicans in the Senate stopped it from moving forward. If we can hold the House majority and expand the Democratic majority in the Senate by two votes—two who are committed to taking bold action to make progress—we can end the filibuster, pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, and immediately codify the protections of Roe into law.

We won’t stop there—a 52-seat majority of bold, committed Democrats will let the Senate act on a range of issues—including real accountability and reforms for the corrupt right-wing justices and the illegitimate Supreme Court.

It’s a tall order—but that’s what’s at stake this election. Over the weeks and months ahead, MoveOn members will be calling, texting, and knocking on the doors of voters. We’ll be supporting progressive candidates. And MoveOn will be using the best data, tools, and technology to deliver the sharpest messaging to key voters.

Right now, we can get started wherever we are—print some signs out, take them to community events, distribute them to friends, hang them proudly, and make sure everyone sees what this November will be about.

Thanks for all you do.

Well said John Duresky for Congress! ... See MoreSee Less

Why did a federal immigration enforcement operation end with a woman dead, and why are communities still being given vague answers instead of real accountability? YESTERDAY: ICE officers were involved in an immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis that ended with a civilian woman fatally shot during a roadside encounter. Federal officials described the shooting as self-defense, while local leaders, witnesses, and family members disputed that account and called for an independent investigation. THIS MORNING: A community is grieving and demanding answers. Eyewitness accounts and available video raise serious questions about whether deadly force was necessary. Federal authorities have offered limited detail and no independent review. This is not a partisan question. It is a question of accountability. Public safety matters. Law enforcement matters. But when the federal government uses deadly force, it must explain, clearly, publicly, and credibly, why. In WA-04, people live in small towns. They know their neighbors. They expect government power to be exercised carefully, and that when something goes wrong, leaders do not close ranks. They tell the truth. We should never be asked to choose between public safety and civil liberties. A serious government protects both. Here is what I will do differently as your Congressman: Demand full, public investigations when federal enforcement actions result in preventable loss of life, unlawful arrests, or violence Push for independent oversight of federal agencies operating in our communities Insist that use-of-force standards are clear, constitutional, and enforced — not justified after the fact with press releases and silence Accountability is not anti-law-enforcement. ICE officers were involved in an immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis that ended with a civilian woman being fatally shot during a roadside encounter. Federal officials described the shooting as self-defense, while local leaders, witnesses, and family members disputed that account and called for an independent investigation. https://johnduresky4congress.com/
