EnviroVoters Statement: Supreme Court is Undermining our Democracy
CONTACT: Sarah Hersh-Walker, sarah@fcpcommunications.com, 510-759-2921
Sacramento, CA – California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) today issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
Statement from Mary Creasman, Chief Executive Officer, EnviroVoters:
“Let’s be clear about what’s happening right now. The Supreme Court’s opinion on Roe v. Wade is part of a well-thought-out plan to undermine our democracy and retrograde rights, especially for the most vulnerable people in our country.
First, they went after voting rights. Then gun safety. Now, they are taking away access to safe abortions. This is a clear indication that the Court will go after other rights like LGBTQIA+ rights as well.
The agenda of the conservative activist Supreme Court is clearly interpreting the constitution for the benefit of the rightwing extremist elite, and to hurt BIPOC and low-income communities and groups. This agenda is also at the root of what has caused and exacerbated our climate crisis.
It’s going to be up to all of us to stand up and fight back against these human rights violations. The leadership of activists, advocates, and our elected officials will be essential. California can and must lead the way.”
