If you still have an absentee ballot to be returned, DO NOT put it in the mail. Ballots must be in our office by Election Day to be counted. At this point, it should be hand-delivered to our office or your polling place tomorrow. You can also vote at your polling place.

This week’s #warriorcrushwednesday is the incredible Kamala Harris! Earlier today, Harris grilled FBI director Christopher Wray on the Kavanaugh investigation. Thank you, Senator Harris, for your perseverance and dedication to supporting and believing survivors #WCW
NARAL member Karen E., WV: "I believe that any Senator who casts a vote for confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh reveals their own contempt for the Constitution, the rule of law, and their fellow citizens, and no regard whatsoever for women." #StopKavanaugh
In light of recent events, it feels only natural that our #warriorcrushwednesday of the week is Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. We stand with you, Dr. Ford, and will always stand with you. You are a true warrior, and your story deserves to be heard and understood. #WCW
The FBI may get us closer to truth and justice, but we already know that Kavanaugh is hostile to women, already lied under oath, and already has been accused by not one, not two, but THREE women of sexual assault. Sure.Investigate. But his nomination for SCOTUS should be over.
Senator @OrrinHatch implies that both Anita Hill and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford are lying in the same breath that he calls for people to respect "both sides." #BelieveSurvivors#KavanaughHearings
Our #warriorcrushwednesday of the week is Rep. Mike Thompson! We thank Rep. Thompson for his dedication to supporting reproductive rights, as well as his deep understanding of the importance of abortion. #WCW
This week’s #warriorcrushwednesday is Lee Minto! Lee’s hard work and determination allowed her to successfully create positive change in the pro-choice community. #WCW
