Today AFJ Action is leading a Lawyers Day of Action alongside partners Lawyers for Good Government, Equal Justice Society, and lawyers across the country to #BlockBarrett. On the heels of Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans rushing her nomination to the full Senate, we’re raising the legal community’s voice in opposition to this illegitimate process and the danger Barrett poses to our health care and our rights. Barrett was nominated to dismantle health care protections, to strip away reproductive rights, to roll back our civil rights and to undermine marriage equality and LGBTQ rights. She has supported attacks on voting rights and we know Trump is counting on her to help steal the election. Attorneys, law students, legal scholars, and the full legal community are a unique voice in fighting to preserve the rule of law and core tenets of our democracy. That’s why we organizing — and that’s why we continue to fight. And we need your help. Today, October 23, join us for a Lawyers Day of Action to make it clear: The legal community calls on the Senate to #BlockBarrett. Let’s make this the toughest vote they’ll ever take. Here’s what you can do: And every day until the confirmation vote, call your senators and amplify our social media messages and utilize #BlockBarrett & #WeDissent. After every action you take, tell five friends to do the same and tell them to tell five friends. We’re in this together — and we're still fighting. Keith Thirion
