***********************

Friend,

As we begin Black History Month, it only seems fitting to celebrate the
significant strides President Biden has made in diversifying our federal
judiciary. In fact, Biden has nominated more than one third of all Black
women federal judges in U.S. history! But there’s more work that can and
must be done and we cannot ease the pressure now.

[ [link removed] ]Sign our petition to the Senate and urge them to prioritize the
confirmation of more judicial nominees that represent the diverse
background of our nation! >>

The nominees that have been put forward by President Biden reflect a rich
blend of professional expertise, diverse backgrounds, and unwavering
dedication to upholding the principles of our Constitution. These nominees
represent the very best of our legal community and are poised to make
significant contributions to our judiciary.

There are several standout judges whose records demonstrate a stellar
commitment to protecting civil rights and equality for all. Their
confirmation to the federal bench has brought not only a wealth of
experience but also a fresh perspective that is crucial for ensuring a
judiciary that reflects the diversity of our nation. Judges like:

* Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson – the first Black woman to
serve on our nation’s highest court.
* U.S. Circuit Judge Nancy Abudu (11th Circuit) – prior to her
confirmation, Judge Nancy Abudu was a lawyer with the Southern Poverty
Law Center and the ACLU, where she was a strong defender of voting
rights.
* U.S. Circuit Judge Holly Thomas (9th Circuit) – throughout much of her
career, Judge Thomas spent years defending civil rights at the NAACP
Legal Defense Fund and at the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights
Division.
* U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead – during his career prior to
joining the bench, Judge Whitehead represented employees in
discrimination and other workplace issue cases, protecting the rights
of workers everywhere.
* And the list goes on…

There are more than a dozen additional judicial nominees awaiting
confirmation votes by the full Senate. These nominees’ dedication to civil
rights and the rule of law underscores President Biden's commitment to
appointing judges who will uphold the rule of law while promoting fairness
and impartiality in our legal system – which is why we must urge the
Senate to act!

[ [link removed] ]By signing our petition, you will join thousands of others in
expressing support for the confirmation of all of President Biden's
judicial nominees, sending a clear message to the Senate that we demand a
fair and expeditious confirmation process. Together, we can ensure that
our judiciary remains strong, diverse, and reflective of the ideals upon
which our nation was founded.

[ [link removed] ]Please take a moment to add your name to the petition and share it with
your friends, family, and colleagues. >>

Together, we can make a difference and help shape a judiciary that serves
all Americans.

Thank you for your commitment to justice and equality.
