Dear People For Supporter,

As you might have seen, it was reported today that Justice Stephen Breyer
will retire from the Supreme Court at the end of this term.

Already, the Far Right is planning a scorched-earth campaign to stop the
confirmation of President Biden’s nominee – whom we expect, based on the
president’s pledge, will be the first Black woman ever nominated to our
high court.

This is a fight we are ready to have – and win! The inspiration and
excitement of this moment promises to unite our movement and reinvigorate
our base at a critical time, with the midterm elections coming up and
following last week’s voting rights setback in the Senate.



This is urgent: [ [link removed] ]please renew your 2022 support with a donation now to
ensure that President Biden keeps his promise to nominate to the Court a
highly qualified Black woman, with a demonstrated commitment to civil
rights and equal justice for all, and to ensure that she is confirmed! >>



Within minutes of the news reports, influential Far Right movement leaders
had taken to Twitter with comments like:

“I don't trust whoever Joe Biden nominates to replace Stephen Breyer. They
must be stopped.”
-- Brigitte Gabriel, ACT for America

“The US Senate needs to filibuster, stall, delay and hold Biden’s Supreme
Court pick until 2024.”
-- AZ State Sen. and Far Right rising star Wendy Rogers

We know that you trust People For the American Way to lead the progressive
charge in Supreme Court fights and it’s not a responsibility we take
lightly.

We’re ready to make history by finally confirming a Black woman, committed
to protecting the civil and human rights of all Americans, to the Supreme
Court. President Biden has some stellar, highly qualified choices ... and
we’ll be pushing the White House to name a fair-minded nominee who
understands the important role of justices in protecting the
constitutional rights of everyday Americans.

Here’s what we CANNOT allow to happen:

We can’t let Mitch McConnell and Republican senators hijack another
Supreme Court seat that should rightfully be filled by a Democratic
president.

And we can’t let the Far Right destroy a highly qualified nominee with
racist, sexist smears.

It’s up to us to seize this opportunity to make historic progress with
this Supreme Court nomination ... and to fire up voters and activists who
are tired and frustrated with the persistence of the pandemic and with
stalemates in the 50-50 Senate holding up important legislation to protect
our rights.



[ [link removed] ]Please choose to play a crucial part in meeting this pivotal moment
with an immediate donation to renew your support of People For, protect
this Supreme Court seat, and make history with America’s first Black woman
justice >>



While the far-right majority on the Roberts Court has proven itself
hostile to voting rights, reproductive freedom, public health, workers’
rights, and more, let’s make sure we look back on this moment as THE
moment when we started to push the Supreme Court back towards reason and
fidelity to the core principles that define the true American Way.

Thanks for being a part of this fight!

-- Ben Jealous, President
