Dear John,
Did you read our last email? We cannot allow the specter of Project 2025 to bog us down and paralyze our movement. We must continue visualizing and working towards our dream of a true multiracial democracy. For 45 years, AFJ has fought for a judiciary committed to equal justice, and this journey is far from over. We are close to reaching our goal! We're just two generous donors away from reaching our goal of 45 supporters. [[link removed]] Today is the LAST day to contribute. Please make an impact today!

Dear John,
For 45 years, Alliance for Justice has stood on the right side of history, advocating for a fair justice system that upholds progressive values. We have tirelessly championed judicial integrity, shaping a future where justice reigns and rights are protected. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to walk down memory lane with us and revisit our timeline of advocacy. [[link removed]]
SUPPORT TODAY [[link removed]]
AFJ always puts democracy first :
- 1987 : We took a stand against Robert Bork , an extreme right-wing SCOTUS nominee whose confirmation would have undermined decades of progress.
- 1991 : During Clarence Thomas’s nomination, we brought Anita Hill’s story to light, introducing the critical issue of sexual harassment to the national discourse and fighting for the integrity of our highest court.
- Mid-2000s : We fought against the nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito , whose judicial philosophies threatened to erode civil liberties and rights that Americans hold dear.
- 2018 : We led a coalition against Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, highlighting the importance of maintaining a judiciary that respects and upholds the values of justice and equality.
Not to mention, our support has been equally impactful:
- 1992 : We backed the SCOTUS appointments of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer , both of whom have left enduring legacies of fairness and justice.
- 2001 : We supported Roger Gregory ’s nomination, making him the first Black judge in the First Circuit and a symbol of progress in our judiciary.
- 2008 : During the Obama administration, we advocated for Sonia Sotomayor in 2009 and Elena Kagan in 2010, both of whom have become pillars of progressive jurisprudence.
- 2022 : We led the coalition championing Ketanji Brown Jackson , the first Black woman on the Supreme Court, and helped identify her for the Biden-Harris administration, marking a historic step towards a more inclusive and representative judiciary.
