John,
Last night, Senate Republicans defied Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish, and confirmed Amy Coney Barrett onto the Supreme Court after just 30 days. Undoubtedly, she will use that power to undermine the rights of millions of Americans.
We’ll be honest: It’s a gut punch. It hurts to know how far Republicans will go just to gain power, even if it comes at the expense of disadvantaged groups across the country. But now is not the time for despair.
In 7 days, we get to tell those same Republicans, as well as the man who nominated Amy Coney Barrett himself, Donald Trump, exactly how we feel about them selling out the American people to a far-right legal agenda. This is our chance to make our voices heard.

Let’s make something very clear: People like Mitch McConnell want you to give up. They want us to see their brazen power grabs, their unapologetic sabotage of democracy, and come to the conclusion that there’s nothing we can do about it. But they’re dead wrong.
Republicans might try to rig the game. They certainly have skewed it to their advantage. But if there’s one thing that our movement knows firsthand, it’s that even a rigged game can be won with an overwhelming amount of fight, spirit, and dedication. We just have to fight that much harder, because we have to win. There’s no other alternative.
Yesterday was a hard day. But the fight to preserve our democracy and to build a country that works for working people is not over. Stay in it with us.
In solidarity,
Team Cori
