Yonkers Insider: Election Desk 2020: Choice Matters and WCLA PAC: Suzanne Berger - Making History.

 

Dear Pro-Choice friends and allies, On a typical day, in a typical week, WCLA - Choice Matters and its 2 political action committees would not get involved in party politics. Choice Matters, ProChoice Voter and WCLA PAC are proudly non-partisan. But these are not typical times. AND, our mission is simple - to advance abortion rights. Choice Matters and WCLA PAC are proud to support and endorse Suzanne Berger for Chair of the Westchester County Democratic Party Committee - no “ifs,” “ands” or “buts”. The Chair of a committee steers the ship, determining tenor and course. Suzanne Berger is literally the ONLY candidate in this race who has demonstrated a true and unwavering commitment to abortion rights and reproductive freedom. Abortion rights is not just a bullet point on a list or a photo op.  It is not simply attending an event or having a photo snapped with elected officials. Quite the contrary. Being an abortion rights advocate and an activist  is a fundamental commitment - one that Suzanne Berger has demonstrated over and over again. Under Suzanne Berger’s leadership, ALL of Greenburgh candidates running for office have been interviewed by Choice Matters to determine whether they are truly committed to a woman’s right to make her own decisions. The interviews and Choice Matters’ respective pro-choice rating have been reported to Greenburgh’s Executive Committee. Suzanne’s opponent has done none of this. What does being “pro-choice” mean? It is a phrase thrown around by many because it helps candidates get elected - just like Jeannine Pirro and Robert Castelli did. For Choice Matters, a candidate cannot be “kind of” pro-choice. Just as you cannot be a little pregnant, you cannot be a little pro-choice. Now, across this nation, we face a reckoning.  Our constitutional rights are being challenged and threatened. And sadly, today, the fight for women’s reproductive freedom is sinking to the bottom of that bushel basket of rights. This week, Westchester’s Democratic District Leaders have the opportunity to make history by making Suzanne Berger the first elected Woman Chair of the Westchester County Democratic Party Committee. Suzanne has proven herself a forceful voice for the rights of all - regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, disability, financial fortitude or gender identity. Please join me in supporting Suzanne Berger for Westchester County Democratic Chair! Together let’s make history. Sincerely,
