The Gates Have Been Crashed, Are YOU Coming With Us?
Victory: Part I!
The South Dakota petition drive to overturn HB 1215, the extreme anti-abortion legislation, was a success.
Our partners in the field secured an amazing 38,000+ signatures, 20,000 over the required number to refer the measure to the ballot in November.
This is a classic example of people-powered politics. By referring it to the ballot the citizens of South Dakota have successfully foiled the plot of the right-wing extremists to send HB 1215 to the US Supreme Court in an attempt to overturn Roe V Wade.
The Battle: Part II
Now we go to War. With the national focus on this battle the extremists are expected to funnel millions of dollars from around the country, and we must respond in kind. Focus South Dakota will be producing the hard-hitting media, print and mail to combat their efforts.
The success of our movement depends on the success of the campaign in South Dakota. We need to chop them off at the knees now and show extremists that their first attack on Roe will be their last. The state legislatures in Ohio and Louisiana are also considering similar abortion bans.
Please contribute today to Focus South Dakota and help us put our message on the air and in the field as we take this fight directly to the fundamentalists.
The anti-choice extremists may have chosen the battleground and the terms, but WE will win the war.
Forget the keys, we’re crashing the gates.

This shrill single-issue voter just gave $35.
It’s small donations like this from around the country that are the backbone of any grassroots movement.
I noticed your a teacher. Let us point out that South Dakota is ranked 51st in average teacher salary (last of all states + DC). Now the state is prepared to spend millions of dollars defending this extremists ban should it pass in November, instead of raising teacher salaries.
Be sure to let your friends and colleagues know how to and why to support us.
Will do. Thanks for posting this.
Beyond contributing, I’m writing to all the Dems who voted yea to let them know that their primary opponents will be supported from afar.
Let’s bury their traitor’s hearts at Wounded Knee.
Alice,
I know you meant well with this comment, but can we find some hole somewhere to bury these traitors hearts, far away from the sacred ground, and graves of Wounded Knee?
Peace
Thanks for posting this reminder. I have been wanting to do something, but needed the break of some time off over the weekend to get to it. I’ll be spreading my contribution out over the next 5 months so that I can give more than I can in just a one-timer. Thanks also for that option.
I do the same, I have monthly commitments to Focus South Dakota and a Democracy Bond (monthly donation to DNC).
$20 a month to each org is reasonable for me. But not $300 at a time.
you are an activist but register your political activism outside the frame created by Markos and Jerome with their recent publication.
