Dear,

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump is going to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to fill
Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat, and she's a nightmare for women's rights and
civil rights.

Barrett was rubber-stamped by the extremist Federalist society, favors
reproductive restrictions straight out of The Handmaid's Tale, and has
even implied that Brown v. Board of Education was ruled incorrectly.(1,2)

Multiple polls have come out showing that majorities of voters oppose
letting Trump replace Justice Ginsburg.(3) We need Senate Judiciary
ranking member Dianne Feinstein to hold strong for all of us who are
counting on her to stop Trump’s nominee, but so far, she hasn’t stepped
up.

If McConnell and Trump have their way, a sharply right-wing 6–3 majority
will govern the court for decades, dismantling Roe v. Wade, what’s left of
the Voting Rights Act, the Affordable Care Act, civil rights for LGBTQ+
people, and more.

There's no question of how Barrett will perform as a justice, as she has
written extensively against Roe v. Wade and birth control, and even tried
to revive the doctrine of “separate but equal” that formed the legal basis
of Jim Crow.(4)

Our best hope of stopping this disaster is for Senate Democrats to work to
block every motion, every bill, every vote that comes up. But in the last
week, Sen. Feinstein, who is on the Senate committee that is the first
stop for Trump’s nominee, has voted in favor of three of Trump’s federal
judicial nominees.(5) And she has refused to consider expanding the Court
if Trump does get his confirmation, preferring to keep the rule in place
that provides her with the most power, not the one that protects the
American public.(6)

That's why we’re driving calls to Sen. Feinstein's offices across
California and DC, demanding that she do everything possible to stop Trump
from sealing a supermajority on the Supreme Court. To honor RBG's legacy,
we must fight like hell to make sure Joe Biden -- not Donald Trump --
picks her replacement. Will you chip in?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll donate $5.

Yours in the fight for our democracy,

Irene, along with Angela, Annie, Caitlin, Deepthi, Gabby, Jay, Lindsay,
Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
