Reclaiming Justice for Our Bodies and Lives
Friends,
It is personal. It is painful. And it is still true: we are not going away.
Four years ago, on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case and ripped away a constitutional right that generations before us marched, organized, and sacrificed to secure.1 They thought that ruling would silence us. They thought fear would shrink us. They thought exhaustion would make us disappear.
They were wrong.
We are still here. Still rising. Still organizing. Still championing reproductive freedom. Still demanding the right to control our bodies, our futures, our families, and our lives.
I share this because I know what it means for bodily autonomy to be more than a slogan. Long before today, I survived gang rape. I moved forward, but I never forgot what it meant to know that if I had needed abortion care, that choice was mine. Not a politician’s. Not a judge’s. Not a billionaire’s. Not a stranger’s. Mine.
And that is what this anniversary demands of us: truth, courage, and action.
Since Dobbs, the cruelty has been impossible to ignore. Across this country, people have been denied care, forced to cross state lines, pushed into medical danger, threatened with criminalization, and told that their pain, their bodies, and their futures belong to the state.2 Survivors of rape have been retraumatized by laws that pretend exceptions exist while making care nearly impossible to access. Women, girls, trans people, and nonbinary people have been treated as political targets instead of human beings with dignity.
Let’s be clear: this was never just about abortion. It was always about power.
The same extremists attacking abortion are coming for IVF, contraception, medication abortion, gender-affirming care, voting rights, public education, and the freedom to live safely and fully in our communities. They want us isolated. They want us ashamed. They want us quiet.
But we are not quiet.
We are the people who turn grief into action. We are the people who turn outrage into organizing. We are the people who believe progress is possible because we have seen ordinary people move mountains when they refuse to surrender.
The Women’s Health Protection Act would help restore and protect the right to abortion and reproductive freedom nationwide. It would put health, dignity, and personal freedom above political control. It would say what should never have to be said in a democracy: our bodies are our own.
And we must also stand with survivors when powerful men and weaponized institutions try to punish them for telling the truth. Standing with E. Jean Carroll is part of the same moral demand: believe survivors, protect survivors, and reject any effort to use power as a tool of intimidation.
Bad things happen when good people do nothing. But beautiful, powerful, history-shaping things happen when good people show up.
So today, we show up. For ourselves. For our children. For our neighbors. For every person who has been told to suffer in silence. For every survivor. For every patient. For every family. For every future we still have the power to protect.
We are still here. And we are not going away.

Why the Grassroots Resistance Can’t Wait
People Power United members believe change is possible because we have seen ordinary people rise, organize, and be a force for progress. Real change does not come from waiting politely, staying quiet, or hoping those in power suddenly grow a conscience. It comes when people speak out, show up, and demand action—because our communities and families cannot wait, and every moment we delay gives injustice more room to tighten its grip on our communities.
Together, we can defend our rights, freedoms, the rule of law, and democracy, hold leaders accountable to the people’s will, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.
People Power United champions freedom over fascism, progress over fear, and power to the people. We believe change is possible, and we do the work to make it happen. Join us to build people power.
