Friend,
The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice was created to defend the most fundamental rights of all Americans – but Trump and his MAGA enablers are trying to turn it into a weapon against the very people it’s supposed to protect.
Trump has nominated an extremist who has spent her career attacking civil rights. If confirmed, she will undermine voting rights, roll back protections for LGBTQ+ Americans, and side with those in power over the people who need justice the most.
This is who Trump and his accomplices want running the Civil Rights Division:
🔴 She undermines voting rights. She has downplayed the DOJ’s role in protecting elections, falsely claiming that the Voting Rights Act is no longer necessary because “Jim Crow is long gone.” She also helped Trump push lies about the 2020 election and defended those involved in fake elector schemes.
🔴 She attacks transgender rights. She has dismissed transgender people’s existence, calling them “men pretending to be women.” She opposes schools supporting trans students and has fought to strip away gender-affirming care for minors.
🔴 She would weaponize the Civil Rights Division against the communities it’s meant to protect. Her own law firm and legal organization have fought against core civil rights protections, including COVID safety measures, LGBTQ+ rights, and reproductive freedom.
🔴 She would not protect those who need it most. Congress created the Civil Rights Division to protect vulnerable Americans from those in power who would harm them. But this nominee stands with the powerful, not the people.
This nomination isn’t just dangerous – it’s a direct assault on everything the Civil Rights Division was created to uphold. If she takes office, the most basic rights of millions will be at risk.
The Senate must stop this confirmation – but they need to hear from you.

We know Trump and his allies won’t stop trying to hijack our democracy and roll back decades of hard-won progress. But they’ve underestimated us before.
Every time they’ve tried to dismantle our rights, we’ve fought back. And we will again.
Add your name now. Let’s stop this nomination together. >>
