From historic voter turnout to take back the White House and Senate to unprecedented mobilization to demand accountability for Trump’s judicial nominations, it’s clear that progressives are fired up like never before. With dozens of current District and Circuit Court vacancies and more opening by the day, the Biden-Harris administration and Senate majority of champions for constitutional rights have momentous opportunities on the horizon to reverse the damage Trump and Mitch McConnell inflicted on our judiciary and our democracy. For over forty years, Alliance for Justice has led the fight to confirm judges committed to equal justice who represent the breadth of people and legal backgrounds of our country, and our Building the Bench initiative has laid the groundwork to join progressives and our elected officials in bold action from day one. Join AFJ Wednesday, January 27th at 6:00 PM EST, for a Holding Court conversation with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), AFJ President Nan Aron, and MALDEF President and General Counsel Thomas Saenz about the strategy and our work ahead with the White House and Senate champions to take back our courts. Jen Bendery, Senior Politics Reporter at HuffPost, will moderate the conversation. |
