We need to talk about the Supreme Court, John. 

A recent Gallup poll found that the high court’s approval rating has crashed to an all-time low of 33%, down from 39% last year. 

It’s time to rebuild trust in SCOTUS. We can rein in and reinvigorate this institution with a set of common-sense reforms: term limits, a binding code of ethics, and restrictions on when appointments can be made.

We’re fighting to reform the Supreme Court as part of our push to ensure the will of the people gets heard — including securing fair maps and defending the right to vote. Please make a donation today if you agree that this democracy-saving work is becoming more critical by the day.

We can’t say we’re surprised by the Supreme Court’s cratering approval ratings. Their radical rulings continue to rip away our freedoms, including dismantling the Voting Rights Act earlier this year and clearing the way for map manipulation that shreds fair representation for voters of color.

Even a Republican former Federal Election Commission chair wrote that the Supreme Court’s ruling in that case was "illegitimate” and part of an "arc of injustice.”

Here’s how Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. describes the need for reform:

Moving forward, the remedy to this out-of-control, deeply ideological Court must be a renewed commitment by the American people — and those who represent them — to pass new, durable voting rights legislation as well as reforms to our judicial system, so that the Supreme Court is no longer held captive by a minority ideology that acts solely in the best interest of those who adhere to it.

So alongside A.G. Holder, the Redistricting Action team is working to pass Supreme Court term limits of 18 years, establish a binding code of ethics, and require that a new justice be appointed in the first and third years of each presidential term.

This is how we can guard against the influence of powerful, wealthy interests and prevent hyper-ideological majorities from upending pro-democracy legislation.

Make a contribution of any amount today, and let’s keep working together to rebuild trust in the Supreme Court, defend voting rights, and ensure a democracy where every voice carries equal weight.

Thank you,

The Redistricting Action Team
