People For Member,
Just as expected, Far Right Senators attacked Kristen Clarke during today's Judiciary Committee vote on her nomination, continuing their attempts to smear this civil rights hero.
Ted Cruz attacked her integrity, accused her of defending cop killers, and went after her on other already debunked and totally false far-right talking points.
We can expect a vote on the Senate floor for Kristen Clarke's nomination in the weeks ahead, but it's going to take each of you – making #HerFightOurFight – to get this vote across the finish line.
Thanks,
Zach

People For Member,
After the tragic and hate-motivated murder of their son in 2017, Dawn and Richard Collins didn’t know where to turn – they wanted answers and they sought justice.
When the state of Maryland failed to convict the white supremacist murderer of a hate crime, it was clear the law needed to be changed. Attorney Kristen Clarke came to the family’s aid and helped fight to get the law changed in Maryland, so that future hate crimes wouldn’t be as difficult to prosecute, and no family would have to face the injustices the Collins family endured.
The Collins family knows that Kristen Clarke is an unparalleled advocate for justice who would make an exemplary Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice.
Kristen Clarke will face a key committee vote THIS WEEK before there is a full vote on the Senate floor. We need to keep up the pressure to continue building momentum in support of her confirmation!
Far Right groups funded by big money donors are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars in the fight to derail Kristen Clarke’s confirmation by pushing out baseless lies about her. But thousands of grassroots advocates like you are speaking up and speaking out against these attacks by correcting the record and elevating Kristen Clarke’s sterling qualifications.
Thanks for making #HerFightOurFight.
In solidarity,
Zach, People For the American Way
