John,

We just learned that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire from the Supreme Court, leaving the Biden administration to fill this unexpected vacancy.

Three questions frame our big and unexpected fight ahead:

1. Who will Joe Biden nominate?
2. Will corporate Democrats, like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, vote to confirm them?
3. How much will right-wing extremists try to smear and obstruct the nominee?

The Biden administration has a responsibility to nominate a progressive Justice who will counter the influence of the six conservative Justices on the bench and make good on his promise to appoint the first Black woman ever to serve on the Supreme Court. Corporate Democrats have already undermined Biden’s agenda, and we know there is no limit to their obstruction.

We’re no strangers to tough fights, and we’re ready to use the power of our movement to ensure that a progressive Justice is nominated to our highest court. Will you join this fight by chipping in $3 right now? Abortion rights, criminal justice reform, labor rights, the environment, and so much more are on the line.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
