Late last night, anti-abortion hackers reportedly attacked Planned Parenthood. The hackers say that they plan to release internal Planned Parenthood emails "soon."1
MoveOn has launched an emergency effort to defend Planned Parenthood by mobilizing public support. Will you chip in $3—and stand with Planned Parenthood in its moment of need?
Yesterday's data breach is the latest in a two-week-long string of attacks. Here's what's happened so far:- Two weeks ago, a heavily edited, blatantly misleading video was released attacking Planned Parenthood.2
- Within days of the video's release, Republicans in Congress started scheduling votes to defund Planned Parenthood and preparing even broader attacks on abortion rights.3
- Next, another deceiving, doctored video was released, continuing the smear campaign against the largest reproductive health care provider in America.4
- Yesterday, Senator Rand Paul announced he's trying to force a vote to eliminate Planned Parenthood's federal funding.5
- Then late last night, Planned Parenthood's servers were reportedly hacked. The hackers plan to release internal emails "soon."6
It's clear that Planned Parenthood is under intense, sustained attack from the radical right. It's up to MoveOn members to stand with them now, and in the months ahead. Will you chip in $3 as we fight to defend Planned Parenthood?
Yes, I'll chip in to help MoveOn defend Planned Parenthood and stop the attacks on abortion rights.
It's particularly unnerving that employee information from Planned Parenthood may have been stolen last night. That could literally put lives at risk. A leader of one of the groups consulting on the anti-Planned Parenthood videos runs an organization whose members have bombed abortion clinics and assassinated an abortion provider.7
It's up to us to stand with the brave women and men of Planned Parenthood who are under attack—and who risk their lives to advocate for access to reproductive rights and abortion services.
Will you chip in $3 and show your support?
These ongoing attacks will inevitably hurt access for over 2.7 million people who turn to Planned Parenthood's nonprofit clinics each year for affordable health care services—not just abortion, but also cancer-prevention tests, well-woman visits, and access to birth control.8
With your help, we'll flood Capitol Hill with phone calls and mobilize grassroots voices all over the country to defend Planned Parenthood. Will you chip in $3?
Yes, I'll chip in to help MoveOn defend Planned Parenthood and stop the attacks on abortion rights.
Thanks for all you do.
