Allred Earns Endorsement from Reproductive Freedom for All
DALLAS – Congressman Colin Allred announced he has earned the support of Reproductive Freedom for All. Reproductive Freedom for All advocates for access to abortion, birth control, paid parental leave, and protections from pregnancy discrimination.
“Texans’ freedoms are under attack, and that includes the freedom to get the health care you need – including an abortion,” said Allred. “I will fight to restore those freedoms in the Senate and ensure we protect access to birth control and reproductive health care. I am proud to earn the endorsement of Reproductive Freedom for All and look forward to working alongside them to beat Ted Cruz.”
“Texans face one of the cruelest abortion bans in the nation. Time and again, we hear horrific stories about the consequences of those bans: people being blocked from the care they need, even in life-threatening circumstances. Ted Cruz has helped lead the charge to ban abortion—and he wants to bring bans like Texas’ to every state in the country. We can’t afford to allow him another term. Rep. Colin Allred has been a steadfast champion of reproductive freedom, and as a Texan myself, I could not be more ready to ensure he replaces Ted Cruz in the Senate,” said Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju.
Reproductive Freedom for All joins the Texas AFL-CIO, the Human Rights Campaign, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the College Democrats of America, the League of Conservation Voters, Jewish Democratic Council of America, End Citizens United // Let America Vote and other organizations in supporting Allred’s candidacy.
Allred has also earned the backing of a broad coalition of leaders from across Texas including Congress members Veronica Escobar, Joaquin Castro, Lizzie Fletcher and Marc Veasey, State Senators César Blanco, José Menéndez, Carol Alvarado and Royce West, as well as local leaders including El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, and Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis.
