Justice Thomas is pushing a right-wing political agenda on the Supreme Court—and is being bankrolled by Republican billionaires, working on their behalf.

Sign the petition to demand that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas be impeached NOW!

Dear MoveOn member,

On Wednesday, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced articles of impeachment against corrupt justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito for abusing their power on the Supreme Court to protect and advance their own personal interests.1 Now, members of Congress must launch an impeachment investigation and begin impeachment proceedings.

John, we have to keep up the pressure. Will you sign the petition to demand that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas be impeached NOW?

In 2022, evidence revealed that Ginni Thomas, Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, texted Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows—as well as legislators in Wisconsin and Arizona—urging them to overturn the election results. Ginni even attended the Stop the Steal rally on January 6 and is involved with groups who participated in the January 6 insurrection.2,3,4

Then, Clarence Thomas used his power as a Supreme Court justice to attempt to shield his wife from accountability by participating in a case regarding Trump's records on January 6 and was the sole justice in an 8-1 ruling who wanted the White House to keep records hidden—including the texts where his wife pushed the Trump administration to take action to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The corruption knows no bounds.

Enough! Click here to add your name to demand that members of Congress impeach Justice Thomas NOW!

There is finally new momentum to hold Justice Thomas accountable. Members of Congress must launch an impeachment investigation and impeachment proceedings NOW.

Clarence Thomas has accepted $4 MILLION in gifts and failed to report most of them. Free luxury vacations, tuition payments, private jet flights, private resorts, yacht trips. These are just a few of the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts that he accepted from billionaire and right-wing megadonor Harlan Crow (who has poured tens of millions of dollars into right-wing causes and collects Nazi memorabilia) and other right-wing benefactors with business before the Supreme Court.5

In 2011, Crow also gave half a million dollars to a Tea Party group founded by Ginni Thomas. The donation paid for Ginni's $120,000 salary.6 And both Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas have ties to Leonard Leo, the chief architect of the right-wing Supreme Court.7

Clarence Thomas's corruption has stretched across decades and is well-documented. He must be impeached. Will you sign the petition?

Ginni was part of a group of far-right activists who pushed Trump to get rid of members of his administration who were thought to be "disloyal" to him and suggested that those members be replaced with people they chose.8 Clarence Thomas's wife actively participated in trying to overturn the 2020 election results in support of Trump. And despite calls for Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from Trump-related cases because of his several conflicts of interest, he didn't.

It's painfully clear that instead of making unbiased decisions based on the facts, Justice Thomas is pushing a right-wing political agenda on the Supreme Court—and is being bankrolled by Republican billionaires, working on their behalf. Meanwhile, the decisions that he rules on directly impact the lives of millions of people, from workers' rights to abortion rights, voting rights, and more.

In 2017, impeaching Donald Trump wasn't taken seriously, but MoveOn members and others pushed and helped elect a Democratic House majority, giving Democrats the power to move an impeachment inquiry. Together, we helped build a demand that couldn’t be ignored for accountability. We can do that again. But it starts with popularizing the idea that this is needed.

We can't sit idly by while corrupt Supreme Court justices continue to strip away our rights. The time is NOW to impeach Clarence Thomas.

In response, MoveOn is launching a "Banned Bookmobile," filling it with books that the far right has banned, and driving it around to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will attract media attention. To keep the Banned Bookmobile up and running into 2024, we need your help. Will you start a monthly gift to power our critical work?


Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
