“Our rights, freedoms, and our future are at stake, and if we don’t show up, there’s a good chance we’ll see a national abortion ban, no exceptions,” she continued. “They also want to take away the freedom to marry the ones we love, to limit voting rights and to enact laws that threaten the progress that needs to be made on climate change. The only way to be sure of the future is to make it ourselves, which is why we should vote on or before November 8th. “.
