John,

For over a decade, the Republican Party has put a huge amount of time, energy, and resources into packing courts across the nation with judges who will reshape the legal system for generations to come.

We cannot afford to cede any more ground to them and allow any additional far right-wing judges that will overturn Roe vs. Wade, weaken our right to vote, and reinforce our broken criminal justice system that disproportionately targets people of color.

So I'd like to take the time to tell you about two vitally important judicial elections taking place in Pennsylvania this November.

But before I do, can you rush a donation of just $10 dollars to help DFA fight Republicans as they look to reshape our courts for decades to come?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court and Pennsylvania Superior Court are two statewide intermediate appellate courts with important elections this year that will shape crucial policies in the state for at least the next decade.

That’s why DFA has endorsed Timika Lane for Judge of PA Superior Court and Lori Dumas for Judge of PA Commonwealth Court.

While most appellate courts do not have original jurisdiction over cases, the Commonwealth Court does, including over cases involving elections.

The Superior Court is often the final arbiter of legal disputes and it hears appeals in criminal and most civil cases, making it a critical court for criminal justice issues.

Even though state level judicial elections are some of the most powerful positions in government, they get very little attention from voters.

With several extremely important cases, including ones on election laws, voting rights, labor practices, and criminal justice, we need to make sure that the judges who take power in these crucial elections will uphold progressive values.

Will you stand with DFA -- and support two amazing judicial candidates that will reduce Republicans’ power over the courts? Chip in $10 or more to help DFA elect Timika Lane and Lori Dumas in Pennsylvania now.
