our story
My Body PAC was founded in 2024 in the middle of a political and economic moment that demanded something entirely new.
When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the country called it a setback.
We called it a reckoning.
Because here's what Dobbs made impossible to ignore: the rights we thought we had were never fully ours to begin with. When Roe was decided in 1973, the argument was built almost entirely around abortion access. That fight was real. It mattered. But the right to bodily autonomy has always been bigger than one procedure, one ruling, one moment in a courtroom.
Bodily autonomy is the right to make decisions about your body, your care, your time, your labor, your safety, your future. It's the right to decide if and when you become a parent. It's access to prenatal care that actually sees you. It's fertility treatment and miscarriage management and birth control and the freedom to exist in your body without permission, restriction, punishment, or shame.
Why a super pac?
Super PACs have a reputation, and it's earned. They've been used to consolidate power, suppress voices, and move money through elections in ways that have historically worked against communities like ours. We know that history intimately.
We built one anyway.
Because if a Super PAC is the most powerful independent political vehicle in the American system, one that can operate across races, take independent action, and move without the constraints of a traditional campaign, the question isn't whether to use it. The question is who gets to.
My Body PAC is bringing an independent political infrastructure to young people, to women, to the communities that have organized, voted, and fought for decades without ever seeing this kind of political power built in their name. We are accountable to no candidate and beholden to no party.
FAQs
-
A Super PAC — formally called an independent expenditure-only committee — is a type of political organization that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections. Unlike traditional campaign committees, Super PACs cannot donate directly to candidates or coordinate with their campaigns. What they can do is spend independently — on advertising, voter outreach, organizing, and more — to support or oppose candidates and issues.
The "independent" part isn't a loophole. It's the whole model. Because we operate independently from any candidate or campaign, we can do things a campaign legally cannot, including taking corporate contributions, raising unlimited funds, and working across multiple races simultaneously.
-
Honestly? Because they've mostly been used by people with a lot of money to get more of what they already have.
Super PACs became mainstream after the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision in 2010, which ruled that corporations and outside groups could spend unlimited money on elections as a form of free speech. Since then, billionaires and corporations have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Super PACs to support candidates and policies that protect their wealth and power.
My Body PAC exists because we believe the same infrastructure that has been used to consolidate power can be turned around and used to build it for the communities that have been organizing, voting, and fighting for decades without this kind of vehicle behind them.

No, we cannot coordinate with candidates. It is not just a legal requirement, it's a strategic asset.
As an independent expenditure-only committee, My Body PAC cannot coordinate with any candidate, campaign, or political party on strategy, messaging, or spending. This is federal law, enforced by the Federal Election Commission.
What it means in practice: we make our own decisions about which races to invest in, how to spend, and what to say. No candidate has a say in our work. That independence is what allows us to operate across multiple races, take positions, and build the kind of long-term infrastructure that isn't tied to any single campaign's cycle.

Elections in the U.S. are funded through a combination of sources, and the rules are different depending on what kind of organization is spending.
Candidate campaigns can accept contributions from individuals (up to $3,300 per election in federal races) and from political party committees. They cannot accept corporate contributions or unlimited individual donations.
Political parties can raise and spend money on behalf of their candidates, within certain limits.
Super PACs like My Body PAC can raise unlimited funds from individuals, corporations, and unions — but must spend independently, without coordinating with candidates or campaigns.
501(c)(4) organizations (issue advocacy nonprofits) can engage in some political activity but cannot make it their primary purpose, and face different disclosure rules.
Dark money groups operate through nonprofit structures that don't require donor disclosure — meaning the public often has no idea who is funding the political ads they see.
My Body PAC is not dark money. Every dollar we raise and spend is disclosed to the Federal Election Commission and publicly available.
-
An independent expenditure is political spending that expressly advocates for the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate — made independently, without coordination with that candidate's campaign.
-
Because that's where the decisions about your body are actually being made.
Since Dobbs returned the question of reproductive rights to the states, state legislatures, governors, and state supreme courts have become the primary battleground. They decide whether abortion is legal, what exceptions exist, whether birth control is protected, how miscarriage is treated, what fertility care is permitted.
Federal races matter. But a Senate seat doesn't determine whether your pharmacist can fill your prescription. Your state legislature does.
