We can think of no better way to honor Black History Month than by appointing a Black woman to the Supreme Court of the United States. So, team we are asking you today to add your name to this petition to encourage President Biden to follow through on his promise to appoint our nation’s first-ever Black female Supreme Court Justice.
As Supreme Court Justice Stepehen Breyer prepares to retire after his decades of service on the bench, President Biden has the opportunity to appoint a new Justice.
When he was running for President, President Biden made a campaign promise to appoint a Black woman to the Supreme Court. Here on Team Fair Shot, we wholeheartedly urge the President to follow through with his campaign promise.
Since the creation of the Supreme Court in 1789, America has had 115 justices, and 108 have been white men. Having a diverse Supreme Court is crucial for promoting a fair justice system, especially as they rule on topics and cases ranging from abortion to affirmative action.
In 2016, Justice Sotomayor perfectly stated why the Supreme Court will benefit from more diversity, saying, "A different perspective can permit you to more fully understand the arguments that are before you and help you articulate your position in a way that everyone will understand."
A justice who comes from and is committed to the complete inclusion and empowerment of our country’s communities of color — whose very presence will help correct the centuries-old gender and racial imbalance on the court — will be an enormous addition.
This will be a historic moment for America, and a defining moment for the Biden Presidency. It is past time for a Black woman to serve on this nation’s highest court. If you agree, add your name right now.
Thank you,
Team Fair Shot
