Dear Friend, Next Wednesday, April 28th, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold the first hearing on President Biden’s recently-announced slate of judicial nominees, including Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for the D.C. Circuit and Candace Jackson-Akiwumi for the Seventh Circuit Courts of Appeals. They and other groundbreaking nominees in this slate mark a crucial first step in taking back our courts after Trump and his allies confirmed scores of judges committed to dismantling our rights. Join AFJ Action Campaign and allies across the country for a #CourtsMatter call-in day. Call your senators today at (202) 224-3121 and tell them you support confirming demographically and professionally diverse judges committed to equal justice. Federal judges rule on issues that affect every aspect of our lives. Our civil rights, voter protections, reproductive freedom, LGBTQ equality, clean air and water, and more all come down to the courts. And some Senate Republicans have already signaled they’ll stop at nothing to block confirmation of qualified, diverse judges. They’ve shown their hands with baseless attacks on other women of color nominees like Vanita Gupta and Kristen Clarke. We need judges who will protect the rights of all of us, not just the wealthy and powerful. Add your voice today. Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them that our #CourtsMatter. Confirm Judge Jackson, Jackson-Akiwumi, and all judicial nominees committed to equal justice under the law. Thanks for all that you do. Keith and the AFJ Action team |
