[ [link removed] ]Tell Your Senators: Confirm Kristen Clarke!

People For Member,

Ever since President Biden nominated Kristen Clarke for assistant attorney
general for civil rights, the Far Right has launched a full-blown
propaganda campaign to thwart her confirmation. Advancing false and
inflammatory narratives, the Right has proven they will stop at nothing to
prevent Clarke from getting confirmed.

But our voices can and must be stronger to defend Kristen Clarke’s
nomination – we must make #HerFightOurFight.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and DEMAND that the Senate give Kristen Clarke a
fair hearing and speedy confirmation! >>

The allegations made by the Far Right are so baseless and untrue that even
moderate Republicans are denouncing the attacks – but that hasn’t stopped
the Right from pushing them out. Even Tucker Carlson of Fox News has
dedicated at least FIVE segments on his show to broadcasting the lies.^[1,
2]

But the truth is, Kristen Clarke is exactly the type of person we want in
the position she has been nominated to fill.

The child of Jamaican immigrants, Kristen Clarke studied at Harvard and
Columbia Law School before spending her entire career fighting for civil
rights and racial justice. After graduating law school, Clarke joined the
prestigious Honors Program at the U.S. Department of Justice and served
for six years in the Civil Rights Division – the very office she has been
nominated to lead.

A champion of voting rights, supporter of crime victims, defender against
hate and violent extremism, and advocate of civil rights for all, Kristen
Clarke’s career and lived experiences make her an exemplary candidate for
the position she is nominated for and we must fight back in support of her
confirmation to dispel these false attacks against her.

[ [link removed] ]Join the countless people across the country demanding that the Senate
confirm Kristen Clarke immediately to the DOJ! >>

A principle that has guided Kristen Clarke’s career is to “open doors that
shouldn’t have been locked in the first place.”^[3] By fighting for
systemic change to challenge injustices and ensure equity for all
Americans, Kristen Clarke will fight to dismantle barriers and to assure
the laws protecting our rights are applied fairly and without reservation.

Join us now to lend a hand in opening a door the Far Right is all too
eager to slam shut on Kristen Clarke. Join us in making #HerFightOurFight.

[ [link removed] ]Urge the Senate to confirm Clarke! >>

In solidarity,

Zach, People For the American Way
