Hey Indivisibles,
Meagan Hatcher-Mays here, with some BIG Supreme Court news -- we just
learned that Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring, leaving a vacancy on the
bench. I’ve been making noise about the courts for years now, and for good
reason: SCOTUS has become ground zero for hyper-partisan
ultra-conservative decisions, from gutting voting rights to rolling back
environmental regulations to attacking workers’ rights and reproductive
freedom.
All these attacks on our most basic and important rights
disproportionately affect Black women and women of color, which is why
it’s crucial that President Biden make good on a promise he made almost
two years ago: nominating the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.
We need to hold him to his promise. So I’m asking you to do a couple
things:
* [ [link removed] ]If you have a Democratic senator, click here to call them and
demand that they speak out publicly and remind Biden of his
commitment.
* [ [link removed] ]If you have a Republican senator (or no senators at all!), click
here to call the White House comment line and remind Biden of his
commitment yourself.
* [ [link removed] ]Chip in $10 to support our advocacy. My team and I are hard at work
setting up these new call pages, monitoring the latest news, and
setting up ads and texts to recruit activists, and grassroots funding
underpins all of it.
Justice Breyer served nearly 30 years on the Court, in that time authoring
opinions in support of reproductive rights and against the death penalty.
I’m thankful for his service, as well as for his decision to step down at
a moment when President Biden can preserve the current balance of the
court. And now is the moment when we need to step up and do what it takes
to ensure Biden meets his commitment, using this moment to promote
representation on the Court and protect the constitutional rights of those
who’ve fought so hard for them.
We’ll be in touch more in the coming days about how to stay involved in
this fight. In the meantime, I’m grateful for everything you can do right
now to get the ball rolling.
In solidarity,
Meagan Hatcher-Mays, Director of Democracy Policy
