People For Member,

Just last week, President Biden unveiled an exciting and historic first
round of judicial nominees, underscoring his commitment to building a
diverse bench of qualified, fair-minded judges with a commitment to equal
justice under the law.

And the Far Right has wasted no time in launching their campaigns to
derail these nominees after spending years filling the courts with
right-wing ideologues.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and urge the Senate to swiftly confirm President
Biden’s circuit court nominees! >>

President Biden has nominated three outstanding Black women for circuit
court judgeships: Ketanji Brown Jackson for the DC Circuit (which is often
seen as a steppingstone to the U.S. Supreme Court); Candace
Jackson-Akiwumi for the Seventh Circuit, and Tiffany Cunningham for the
Federal Circuit.

Ketanji Brown Jackson brings to the bench the critically important
experience of having served as an assistant federal public defender,
representing people who were accused of crimes but who couldn’t afford a
lawyer. Candace Jackson-Akiwumi has devoted most of her career to serving
defendants in poverty accused of federal crimes. As a public defender,
Candace has represented more than 400 clients. And Tiffany Cunningham is a
highly experienced attorney who has been repeatedly recognized as one of
the best lawyers in her field.

These women are highly credentialed and accomplished; and they will also
bring to the bench a lived experience and perspective that is sorely
lacking from our federal courts. This is an incredibly exciting and
historic moment for our courts and our democracy.

[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate to act now by immediately considering these nominees
and confirming them to the federal judiciary! >>

Mitch McConnell and other Far Right members of the Senate are going to do
everything they can to stonewall President Biden’s judicial nominees, but
after the past four years of confirming over 200 of Trump’s extremist
nominees to the federal judiciary it’s time we push back!

[ [link removed] ]Join us in calling on the Senate to confirm these nominees as quickly
as possible >>

Thanks for all that you do,

In solidarity,

Zach, People For the American Way
