My friend @Marie4Congress is running in #IL03 against a Democratic incumbent named Dan Lipinski. He’s anti-choice, anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ – and Marie’s primary is in exactly one week.
We need Marie's voice in Congress fighting for health care, women and our LGBTQ friends and family. But her campaign is running out of funds, and I need your help to make sure she doesn’t get silenced by anti-choice special interest spending.
Every single dollar you give now makes a difference and goes directly to GOTV efforts to help Marie defeat her anti-choice opponent. Will you rush $5 or more? secure.actblue.com/donate/kg4mn?r…

More women die from complications giving birth in the U.S. than in any other developed country. Black mothers are 3 to 4 times more likely to die than white mothers – a rate not tied to income level or education, but race alone. That’s why I’m introducing the MOMS Act. Thread:
While other developed nations’ maternal mortality rates drastically decline, ours is on the rise. In fact, we are 1 of just 8 countries in the entire world with increasing rates of maternal mortality. Our nation is in crisis.
Mothers are dying every day – and for each one who dies, another 70 nearly do. 60% of pregnancy-related deaths are from preventable complications like hemorrhage, preeclampsia and sepsis. We're failing women and babies.
This is an important time to talk about this WH and whether they value women. Because, consistently, their actions tell us they don’t.
Despite some cheap words in the State of the Union, the President refuses to lift a finger to pass a real paid family leave bill. elle.com/culture/a15948…
Worse yet, this administration actually rolled back an Obama rule that required businesses to report pay data to help close the wage gap. nbcnews.com/politics/white…
