I really, really want to believe more R women will be like your family but I’m not counting on white women to do the right thing. And I’m a white woman! I’m focusing on registering voters in key states then mobilizing to vote.

My 91 year old immigrant mother (she immigrated to the US in the 1950's and naturalized in the 1960's) has voted Republican all her life through 2016. In 2020, she voted for Biden because of Trump. She says will risk her life in 2024 (she's 91 and despite having gotten all of her Covid tests, she is very wary about Covid exposure) to go and vote against Trump again. It may not matter in Florida, but she will go and do this again.
Activists are getting close to the number of signatures they need for a referendum to legalize abortion in Florida, so she may get to vote for that, too - and that’s a really good way to make her vote matter as well.
We need to tie this vote to the Senate and elect A democrat. With SineManchin gone we could enshrine Roe. But that means Biden needs to be explicit about that.
I would guess that the Democrats will be very explicit about what the end of Roe has meant, as well as what it means that Thomas is hinting toward an end to birth control, and that several elected Republicans are making noise about banning birth control. I would also guess that the conservative corporate media will not cover it nearly to the extent that they should. It’ll be all, “will this be a red wave year? it’s totally gonna be a red wave year, you guys, you heard it here first red wave red wave…”
