BREAKING NOW: President Trump Nominates Conservative Judge Amy Coney Barrett to U.S. Supreme Court

DONATE TO OUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND: [link removed]

Friend – I’m writing to tell you that AU opposes the confirmation of Judge Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court, and to ask for your urgent support as we work to prevent a disastrous outcome for church-state separation. AU will play a key role in this fight.

Barrett’s record demonstrates a hostility toward church-state separation:

- Barrett has shown support for depriving employees of their contraceptive coverage under the Affordable Care Act because of their bosses’ religious objections.

- Barrett joined a 7th U.S. Circuit Court decision allowing Illinois to exempt religious services from its emergency health order meant to protect the public from the spread of COVID-19.

- Barrett has affiliated with Alliance Defending Freedom and the Becket Fund – legal-advocacy groups leading efforts to misuse religious freedom to harm women, LGBTQ people, religious minorities, the nonreligious and others.

Friend, please click here to contribute to our rapid response fund. Over the next few weeks, our team will be working harder than ever to ensure religious freedom has a voice on the U.S. Supreme Court. We need you with us: [link removed]

Barrett has shown she believes religious freedom can be used as a sword to harm others, rather than as the protective shield the Constitution intended it to be.

The Senate should not confirm a justice who will dishonor Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy and who won’t protect the principle of church-state separation. We oppose Barrett’s nomination, and we are ready to fight. Our team is committed to doing everything in our power to prevent her from undermining religious freedom.

In solidarity,

Rachel K. Laser
President and CEO
