Indivisibles,
BREAKING: Justice Breyer has just announced his retirement from the
Supreme Court after serving for almost 28 years, during which time he
authored opinions in support of reproductive rights and against the death
penalty. Nearly 2 years ago, President Biden made a promise that he would
nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, and with Justice
Breyer’s recent retirement announcement, he can now make good on his
promise. [ [link removed] ]President Biden reiterated this promise over the weekend, and
it is up to us to make sure he follows through with a speedy confirmation!
We are thankful for Justice Breyer’s many years of service, and we are
grateful that he decided to step down at a moment when President Biden can
preserve the current balance of the court.
The current balance on the Supreme Court is skewed 6-3 to conservatives --
and we cannot afford to lose another seat. In recent times, the Supreme
Court has become a place where Republican-led states have challenged many
landmark decisions protecting reproductive rights, workers' rights, and
environmental protections. These attacks on our most basic human rights
disproportionately affect Black women and women of color. That’s why
President Biden’s announcement is extremely important, and we need to make
sure he makes good on this promise.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your weekly to-dos
1. [ [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. President Biden has committed to nominating the first
Black woman to the Supreme Court to be Justice Breyer's replacement,
and we need to ensure he moves quickly in this process -- it took
just eight days for Trump to nominate Amy Coney Barrett, and we
cannot risk any delays or setbacks.
2. [ [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. There is so much at stake here, and we need to
make sure that Justice Breyer’s legacy is upheld through his
replacement.
3. [ [link removed] ]Call your members of Congress (MoCs) and tell them NO MORE
RECESSES until they vote YES on Build Back Better! The Senate did not
pass the Build Back Better Act (BBB) before the end of 2021 as
Democrats had promised. This is unacceptable. Call them now, and tell
them you demand action!
P.S. -- We’re able to fund the ads, call scripts, tools, and work of huge
weeks like last week because of the generous support of grassroots donors,
particularly recurring donors whose support we can count on every month.

Join us on Tuesday February 1 at 8pm ET for our [ [link removed] ]Unpacking
“Electability” virtual workshop!
A common term sometimes thrown around during election cycles is
“electability.” Have you ever heard someone say, “I love that young,
progressive female candidate or candidate of color, I’m just not sure
they’re electable”? Or have you ever had that thought yourself? Come learn
what’s really going on when people talk about electability, how to resist
unconscious bias that is coded as electability, and what to say when
fellow Indivisibles or other friends and family are expressing these
concerns. You don’t want to miss this! [ [link removed] ]Click here to sign up.
