PFAW Member,
Despite serious concerns from advocates and even some Republican senators,
Steven Menashi's nomination is expected to be voted on this week in
committee. If Menashi's nomination passes committee he will be one step
closer to confirmation to a lifetime seat on one of our nation's most
important courts.
[ [link removed] ]We still need your signature on the petition opposing his nomination --
join the thousands of advocates from across the country in urging the
senate to OPPOSE his nomination>>
We will be sharing petition signatures with Senate offices to show the
overwhelming opposition to Menashi's nomination, but we need numbers to be
as high as possible, and without yours friend, we may not get to
the numbers we need.
[ [link removed] ]Don't wait! Add your name now>>
Thanks for all that you do,
- Zach

PFAW Member,
Trump has nominated Steven Menashi for a lifetime seat on the Second
Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Despite already having a deeply troubling
record, during Senate questioning Menashi refused to provide answers to
basic questions regarding his involvement in helping to shape policy in
the Trump administration.
[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition today to demand that the Senate REJECT Steven Menashi
for the Second U.S. Court of Appeals>>
It's no surprise Menashi has been nominated by the Trump administration to
the federal judiciary.
Menashi's abhorrent record of opposing and undermining equity for
communities that have been marginalized is one that any ultraconservative
Trump Republican would applaud. He has expressed blatant hostility towards
the LGBTQ+ community, women, lower-income families, Muslims, and
immigrants expressed in countless writings from the 1990s and 2000s.
Just the kind of person who the Trump administration would want to employ.
While serving in the Trump administration, Menashi has worked alongside
White House aide Stephen Miller to advance xenophobic and racist
immigration policies of the Trump administration and he has enabled
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos's controversial and harmful agenda;
including what many presume to be his work to help develop regulations
that make it more difficult for survivors of sexual assault to make a
report on their experience.
Perhaps most troubling, Menashi is now also refusing to answer questions
regarding any involvement he may have had in the events around Trump's
attempts to pressure Ukraine (and other governments) into investigating
his political opponents.
[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate to oppose Steven Menashi -- sign and send the petition
today!!>>
Thank you,
- Zach, PFAW
