Demand safe abortions for all women: write to EU leaders now!
You’re about to email Ursula von der Leyen and Commissioner Hadja Lahbib at a decisive moment for abortion rights across Europe.
More than 1 million Europeans have demanded safe and affordable abortion care through the My Voice My Choice initiative. A majority in the European Parliament has backed that demand. Now the European Commission must decide whether to turn this democratic mandate into concrete action.
Your message matters. When we flood the inboxes of decision-makers with thousands of individual, thoughtful emails, it signals real public attention and forces them to pick a side - the right side.
To make your email effective:
- Introduce yourself and write in your own words. Personal messages carry far more impact than copied text.
- Briefly explain why abortion access matters to you personally - as a woman, a parent, a spouse, a healthcare worker, or a European citizen.
- Mention the democratic mandate: over 1 million signatures and parliamentary support can not be ignored.
- Clearly state what you want: that the Commission should support and advance the initiative and take concrete steps toward guaranteeing safe and affordable abortion care across the EU.
- Keep it concise, respectful and firm, and sign off with your name and country.
Your voice adds weight. And at this moment, weight matters - as it can protect millions of women. Thank you for taking action 💜
