Happy New Year, John!
We wanted to send you a quick note of gratitude as part of the Take Back the Court grassroots team. This December, we saw a groundswell of support toward our end-of-year fundraising drive – and thanks to hundreds of grassroots donations, we took advantage of our match campaign!
The work we’re doing has never been more important. Just think back to where you were one year ago today as we witnessed home-grown terrorists try to overthrow our government.
The wounds our democracy sustained on January 6, 2021 will take years to heal, but our movement to rebalance the judiciary is a major part of that healing process and we’ve accomplished so much in the last year.
But the single most important thing we can do to preserve our democracy is expand the Supreme Court. Right now we’re seeing tremendous momentum for Court expansion – and Take Back the Court is laser-focused on channeling this energy and growing this movement even more in 2022.
This is our year.
And we’ve got GREAT news to kick off the year! Our match campaign has been EXTENDED!
So we’re humbly asking for you to make your first donation of just $5 or whatever fits your budget to Take Back the Court while our match is still active. Your investment will go directly toward funding our critical programs to fight for Court expansion. Can you make your first donation today?
We’ve got big plans for this year, which include:
-
Educating the public. The more Americans who we get talking to their friends, neighbors, and family about Court expansion, the more our movement grows. This includes making sure everyone knows there is a historical precedent for Court expansion — we can make it happen.
-
Holding Republicans accountable for sabotaging our democracy. We can’t let the American people forget about Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans’ blatant theft of our Court, and the right-wing majority’s active role in the assault on our rights and democracy.
-
Passing the Judiciary Act. We’re so excited that we’ve welcomed nearly 50 (!!!) members of Congress as sponsors of the Judiciary Act, including Senator Elizabeth Warren. But that number must continue growing if we’re to ensure it becomes law.
We have a plan to add four justices to the Supreme Court and save our democracy – and we believe these pillars of work will make it a reality.
But a major unknown going into this year is whether we’ll have the grassroots support needed to build this movement. We know our plan can work – but it’s only as strong as the people like you who believe in it!
So please, help us take FULL advantage of our extended match campaign by making your first donation of just $5 to Take Back the Court if you’re ready to save our democracy and join the movement to expand the Court!.
Thank you,
Aaron Belkin
Founder, Take Back the Court
