TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to Expand the Supreme Court to Stop MAGA Judges’ Relentless Power Grab

After the recent decisions in Trump v. United States, Ohio v. EPA ,and Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, grassroots activists around the country are calling for action to stop the MAGA Justices’ power grab on behalf of far-right special interests, which will have devastating consequences for our environment and health.

 

Congress has the authority to hold the Supreme Court accountable and to set the number of Justices on the Court. It’s past time for lawmakers to expand and rebalance the Court — help us deliver 10,000 signatures calling for immediate action.

Friend — the MAGA Justices on the captured Supreme Court just put Donald Trump above the law and grabbed even more power to serve special interests at the expense of Americans’ right to breathe clean air, to drink clean water, to exercise a truly equal right to vote, and to make fundamental reproductive health decisions.

This week, shockingly the MAGA Supreme Court granted immunity in Trump vs. the United States and put our very democracy at risk because for democracy to endure, no one – especially not the president – can be above the law. In Ohio v. EPA and Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, they made it even harder for scientists and experts at agencies like the EPA to protect the air we breathe and the water we drink — and even easier for billionaires and corporate interests like Big Oil to get their way. Billionaires and corporations have showered MAGA Justices on the Supreme Court with luxury gifts and travel, and oil billionaire Charles Koch even backed some of the lawyers who brought these anti-environment cases. Once again, those investments paid off.

Friend — for the sake of our communities, our democracy and our planet, it’s past time to expand and rebalance the Supreme Court. Sign our petition to Congress right now. It only takes a moment to help us reach our 10,000 signature goal >>

Adding seats to the Supreme Court would allow the president to appoint new justices who will work for the people, not deep-pocketed polluters and MAGA extremists. Following the news, there has been a groundswell of grassroots activism around the country — an outcry for change on the Court.

Today, we’re calling on all LCV members to submit a message to their lawmakers in Congress in support of the Judiciary Act to expand and rebalance the Supreme Court. We need to raise pressure for action now, before the MAGA Justices cause even more damage to our health, our freedoms, and our planet.

Protections for our environment, our reproductive rights, our equality, and our democracy are only as strong as the judges who uphold them. We have to stand up for our rights to breathe clean air and drink clean water, have our votes counted, make our own health decisions, and more.

Thank you for speaking out today, Friend. We’ll be in touch soon with more updates on our campaigns.

Onward, 

Doug Lindner
Senior Director of Judiciary & Democracy
