Thank you Cecile Richards

Today, we mourn the loss of Cecile Richards, a powerhouse advocate whose unwavering commitment to reproductive rights and justice shaped the lives of millions. As the former president of Planned Parenthood and a tireless activist, Cecile’s leadership inspired us to fight harder, speak louder, and never stop demanding better for the next generation.

Her words resonate now more than ever:
"It’s not hard to imagine future generations one day asking: ‘When there was so much at stake for our country, what did you do?’ The only acceptable answer is: ‘Everything we could.’”

Cecile lived those words. She dedicated her life to doing everything she could, fearlessly standing up for women’s health, LGBTQ+ rights, and equitable access to care. Her vision, courage, and determination reminded us of the power of collective action and the importance of lifting each other up in the face of adversity.

At Take Back Trust, we honor Cecile’s legacy by continuing the work she championed. We pledge to remain fierce advocates for reproductive freedom, to empower individuals with the tools and knowledge they need, and to ensure that her vision of equality and justice lives on.

Cecile’s legacy will never be forgotten, and her impact will echo through every fight we take on. Let’s honor her memory by asking ourselves that same question: What will we do when there’s so much at stake?
Let’s commit to doing everything we can.

Rest in power, Cecile. Your light will guide us always.
