Jack, sign the petition to President Biden: Uphold your promise to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court.
SIGN THE PETITION
During his 2020 campaign, President Biden made a promise to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court. He reiterated his pledge following Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement announcement. Now, we must hold him to it.
Of the 115 justices who have served on the Supreme Court bench, 108 have been white men. There has never been a Black woman on the bench, and there have only been three justices of color in the court’s entire history.
The Supreme Court’s makeup does not reflect the diversity and excellence of our nation. The Court routinely rules on cases that disproportionately impact Black women—such as the freedom to vote, abortion access, prisons and policing, housing, and LGBTQ+ rights—and the lack of representation on the bench is glaring.

Representation is also key for rebuilding trust in our courts after Trump’s decimation of the judiciary. If you don’t see anyone on the bench who shares your lived experience, it can be difficult or impossible to believe rulings are made with your fundamental human rights in mind.
Biden has done an excellent job helping to rebuild our federal judiciary in the year he’s been in office. He must continue this work—and keep his pledge—by nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court.
