The central theme of the night’s conversation was how abortion rights are shaping this election—at both the national and state levels. We are fighting for a future where reproductive rights are recognized as fundamental and inalienable, and we are fighting for a future where the avoidable deaths of Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller are never repeated. Voters know that at no point during pregnancy is a politician qualified to make decisions about a woman’s body. As Mini said in her speech, “That’s why, every time abortion has been on the ballot since Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortion rights have won. In California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, Ohio, and Vermont, voters sent a message: ‘Come for our rights, and we will come back fiercely.’”

Liberty has always been a core value in American society—but with the Dobbs decision, it was denied to an entire generation. As another hero of mine, my mother, Melinda French Gates, said at the time, “Be angry. Be angry. But ask yourself: What are you going to do about it?” Since then, I have engaged with experts and invested in organizations and activists working on this issue. In a room filled with 200 other reproductive rights advocates—including elected officials, activists, and representatives from partner organizations—Kimberly Peeler-Allen, RFFA board chair and an inspirational leader who has worked at the intersection of race, gender, and politics for more than 20 years, joined me on stage to speak, as did Representative Ruben Gallego, who is running for Senate in Arizona (one of 10 abortion-legal states on the ballot this November).

This week, I traveled to Washington, DC, to celebrate the nonprofit Reproductive Freedom for All (RFFA)—now in its milestone 55th year—and its president and CEO, Mini Timmaraju. Mini is an absolute force and a true hero of mine. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, she has been a mentor and a co-defendant in the fight to protect and advance reproductive freedom. During my visit, RFFA also honored me with its Rising Reproductive Freedom Champion award (with a clear emphasis on the word “rising”!)—an incredible honor that I accept as an acknowledgement of our continuing responsibility and a call to unite to do more.
