Dear MoveOn member,

Yesterday’s confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to a lifetime seat on the
Supreme Court is terrifying. There’s no way around that, but we have
exactly one week to make sure every eligible voter has a plan to vote—and
this movement needs your help breaking through the political noise to talk
to people one-on-one. 

Republican Party leaders once again demonstrated that they’re happy to
openly embrace their own hypocrisy and destroy the processes and
institutions that have grounded our country for hundreds of years—all in
order to grab more power for themselves, trample our civil and human
rights, and hand over more power to big corporations and the wealthy.

Having Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court through the 2050s and
beyond—which is a very real possibility—should be alarming to every
American concerned with progress. Amy Coney Barrett is an ideological
ultraconservative, and her Supreme Court votes stand to undo decades'
worth of work on issues such as reproductive justice, marriage equality,
immigrant and workers' rights, and corporate power. Her views on these
kinds of issues will likely make her among the most conservative justices
in modern Supreme Court history. 

We know that appealing to the better nature of Republicans simply does not
work. Our only option is to vote them out and reclaim our power and our
democracy.

takeover of our systems of government. We need to act now. Click here to
join thousands of volunteers and sign up to phone bank for Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris, so that we can have a resounding victory in this election
once all the votes are counted.

The way we’ll start to undo the damage wrought by Republicans’ packing our
courts is by electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris next week. 

And once we do that, we can immediately begin putting pressure on the new
administration to embrace far-reaching, substantial court reform. While
Justice Barrett is here to stay, we can—and must—rebalance  the Supreme
Court to more fairly and democratically represent the will of the American
people. 

We must also rebalance the federal judiciary more generally. Throughout
the final years of Barack Obama’s presidency, Mitch McConnell blocked
votes on hundreds of federal judiciary seats, holding them empty until a
Republican president could take office and fill them. And once Donald
Trump won in 2016, he did exactly that. Now, virtually all levels of the
federal court system are stacked with far-right, extremist Trump
appointees with lifetime terms.

If Republicans continue their undemocratic, corrupt takeover of our
courts, there’s no telling how regressive our country will get. 

That’s why we have to elect Joe Biden president and ensure that both the
Senate and House are controlled by Democrats, if we want to restore the
balance—and integrity—of our courts and our democracy. 

Make no mistake: What’s at stake is the very future of our democracy, as
well as a wide swath of rights that so many have fought for over the
years.

shift for Biden and Harris? Phone banking is fun, easy, and an effective
way to communicate directly with voters in battleground states. 

And don’t worry if you haven’t phone banked before: You’ll receive all the
training and guidance you need at the link above.

Thanks for all you do.
