This year, we’ve heard a lot about the gifts Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has received from his billionaire benefactors during his tenure on the court. Between luxury vacations, super yacht trips, tuition payments, sweetheart land deals, and even a quarter-million dollar loan for a souped-up R.V., he’s gotten enough presents to last a lifetime.
But today is #GivingTuesday. And we have a gift we want to give Clarence Thomas, too: four new coworkers to sit beside him on the Supreme Court.
(And since not all of us are billionaire megadonors with immeasurable influence on some of the most powerful, unaccountable people in government, we need your help to do it.)

In 2016, Mitch McConnell shrunk the size of the court by blocking President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland.
Just a couple of years later, Republicans stole another seat when they rammed Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination through after millions of Americans had already cast their votes in the election that would ultimately unseat Donald Trump.
Back then, this was a lonely fight — many people told us that expanding the court was impossible.
But today, more than 60 members of Congress and over 140 advocacy organizations have joined our movement. Americans’ support for rebalancing the court has never been higher. And we owe it all to supporters like you.
And here’s why it matters: As long as this rogue right-wing supermajority holds control of our nation’s highest court, our rights and our democracy will remain under constant threat.
Each new corruption scandal that breaks, every time the court rolls back our rights and torches our democratic system, our work becomes more urgent. And that’s why we are asking for your help today.
If you are able, will you support our mission to expand the Supreme Court in order to safeguard our rights, protect our democracy, and restore integrity to the judiciary by helping us out this #GivingTuesday?
Thank you for all that you do. I’m so grateful for your partnership in this fight.
