Dear John,
This one hits hard. Not only was Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg a hero for equality and women’s rights, but she voted to uphold common sense laws and recognized our right not to be shot. In her prolific career on the Supreme Court and the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, RBG stood for the constitutional necessity of gun violence prevention. If you’re interested in learning more, our Judicial Advocacy Team rounded up all the key decisions she weighed in on that have helped make us safer at the bottom of this email.
But right now, we NEED you to take action . The Supreme Court is now left with four gun extremists -- Justices who wrongly believe the right to firearms trumps all other rights, including our right to live. We cannot allow another extremist to join the bench . And it was RBG’s last request that her seat be filled after the new President is installed and the next Congress is sworn in. John, here’s what we need you to do:
1. We made a pre-filled form so you can easily email senators that have a duty NOT to vote through a nominee until after the inauguration. We’ll be calling on Monday when their offices are open, but this form is a quick click to make sure these senators understand that we are watching them and will hold them accountable.

2. Sign up to volunteer at our text bank on Monday. We’re lining up text banks because it’s crucial that we change the dynamic in Congress. We need to elect leaders to Congress who keep their word, prioritize lives over guns, and listen to the will of the people. That happens by reaching young people and getting them to vote in this election.[[link removed]]
3.Fax your Senator - yes really. Apparently faxes are like letters, the senator’s staff must read every single one (which is not always the case with emails and calls). The simplest way to do this (because who owns a fax machine anymore other than your congress member?) is via FaxZero. This is a few more steps, but a great action to take if you have the spare few minutes. We made a guide with a pre-written message you can use.

Stay tuned for more actions and look out for easy ways to call your senators on Monday. We only have 45 days until the election is over. This is all hands on deck, so make sure you send an email through our form and then send this to a friend.
Finally, as a thank you to Justice Ginsburg, we are sharing some pivotal cases where she stood up for what was right. This is what it means to serve with moral clarity and with compassion.

United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995)
Justice Ginsburg joined a dissent defending Congress’ power to regulate gun possession in school zones, arguing that it does not exceed federal authority to legislate under the Commerce Clause.
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008)
Justice Ginsburg joined the dissent against the ruling, “Neither the text of the [Second] Amendment nor the arguments advanced by its proponents evidenced the slightest interest in limiting any legislature’s authority to regulate private civilian uses of firearms.”
United States v. Hayes, 555 U.S. 415, (2009)
Justice Ginsburg read the majority opinion affirming federal law prohibiting people convicted of domestic violence crimes from owning guns.
McDonald v. City of Chicago, 561 U.S. 742 (2010)
Justice Ginsburg dissented against the decision that the right of an individual to “keep and bear arms” is incorporated by the Fourteenth Amendment.
United States v. Castleman, 572 U.S. 157 (2014)
Justice Ginsburg joined the majority in holding that a misdemeanor domestic assault conviction is a “crime of domestic violence,” thus subjecting the domestic abuser to firearm restrictions under federal law.
Voisine v. United States, 579 U.S. (2016)
Justice Ginsburg joined the majority holding that a reckless domestic violence conviction is a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence for the purpose of limiting access to firearms.
New York State Rifle and Pistol Association Inc. v. City of New York, 590 U.S. (2020)
Justice Ginsburg joined the majority holding the case moot, preventing a potentially dangerous ruling that could have rolled back wide swaths of regulations on the use of firearms outside the home.
Last night, we took some time to honor her by co-hosting a vigil for RBG at the Supreme Court [[link removed]] with friends from other groups. Let’s all bring her tireless RBG energy to the fight for justice.
In solidarity,
