[ [link removed] ]Confirm voting rights expert Myrna Perez to the Second Circuit. Sign today >>

People For Member,

We urgently need judges on our courts who have shown a commitment to civil
and human rights and a critical vote on just such a nominee, Myrna Pérez,
is coming up tomorrow. Can you help us reach our goal of 14,000 signatures
before the Senate Judiciary Committee votes on moving her nomination to
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit forward?

[ [link removed] ]Sign now to join me in urging the Senate to quickly confirm Myrna Pérez
to the Second Circuit. >>

Donald Trump nominated a full 30% of active appeals court judges^[1] –
including installing many anti-voter judges – which has tilted our federal
judicial system worrisomely to the right. We can’t waste any time in
rebalancing our court, and that’s why the vote on Pérez’s nomination
tomorrow is so important.

It’s critical that we undo the harm done by Trump and Mitch McConnell and
confirm fair-minded, superbly qualified Biden nominees like Myrna Pérez, a
civil and voting rights expert who understands the central importance of
the right to vote in our democracy.

Trump nominated HALF of the active judges who now sit on the 13-seat
Second Circuit. With three current vacancies, we have a real opportunity
to shift the balance of this powerful court by confirming fair-minded
jurists who respect democracy and will uphold Americans’ constitutional
rights.^[2]

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to tell the Senate how vital it is that they confirm
Myrna Pérez without delay. >>

Now more than ever our judiciary needs Pérez’s deep understanding of the
law and its impact on peoples’ lives; the Senate must confirm her right
away.

[ [link removed] ]Please sign now. >>

Thank you for everything you do. Let’s keep up the fight.

Ben Jealous, President
