Let's ensure Biden nominates a progressive Black woman and the Senate confirms her quickly Indivisibles,
Now that the breaking news about Justice Breyer’s retirement has sunk in, let’s talk about our game plan. Taking over the Supreme Court has been the ultimate goal of ultra-conservatives for decades -- and they’ve already filled federal courts with far-right extremists. That’s why it’s so important that President Biden nominate a progressive who will represent those most affected by Supreme Court rulings and uphold Breyer’s legacy of protecting constitutional rights.
With Biden reiterating his promise to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, we know that we’re going to have to fight against racist attacks from Republicans -- and they’re already beginning, even before the nominee has been announced. And once we have a nominee, it’s up to us to ensure that Senate Democrats act quickly to confirm her without falling for bad-faith delay tactics from the right.
The truth is, we’d anticipated the possibility that Breyer would retire this year -- but when we planned our 2022 budget, we assumed that would happen at the end of the SCOTUS term in June. That means the money we’re spending on this fight right now (on things like call pages, web resources, and outreach to local groups) is money we hadn’t planned to spend until this summer.
So we need your help to ensure Senate Dems urge Biden to nominate a progressive Black woman and then move with all deliberate speed to confirm her. Can you chip in $10 today to help us drive that pressure, protect the balance of the Supreme Court, and engage in all our key advocacy fights?

We’ve got a few things to take care of to make sure this Supreme Court vacancy is filled without a hitch: ensuring Biden puts forward the best nominee possible, defending her from an inevitable onslaught of attacks, and pressuring the Senate to work fast to confirm her to the seat. This could all happen in a matter of just weeks, so we need to get started right away. We’re grateful for everything you can do to help get it done.
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
