Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has launched a nonprofit organization aiming to expand abortion rights across the country with a greater goal of combating “far extremism in all its forms.” Think Big America will push ballot measures that would codify abortion rights, especially in Arizona, Nevada, and Ohio. Pritzker’s team wouldn’t say how much the governor, who is an heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune, has given as the group’s initial funder. Pritzker has a history of protecting abortion rights, signing the Reproductive Health Act of 2019, which defends access to reproductive health care, including abortion, in Illinois. Since the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, Pritzker has funded abortion rights measures and emerging Democrats in the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court race. But this marks the first time he has elevated his issue to the national stage.
I’m excited to launch @Think_Big_USA today!

From marching with my mother, to codifying reproductive rights into state law, my commitment to defending our freedoms has been lifelong.
We're taking the fight against extremism nationwide.
