Dear People For supporter,
President Biden has just nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court – an exceptionally well qualified woman who has demonstrated over the span of her career a commitment to upholding the constitutional values of equality and justice for everyone.
By nominating Judge Jackson, President Biden has also honored his commitment to nominate the first Black woman to our nation’s highest court – providing a long overdue and historic opportunity to expand diversity on the Court.
This is an incredibly joyful moment in our nation’s history, which we should celebrate.
Judge Jackson has a deep and demonstrated commitment to civil rights. On the federal bench, she has shown her commitment to upholding laws that protect people with disabilities, workers, immigrants, and freedom of speech. As a former public defender, she brings to the Supreme Court the perspective of someone who has seen the justice system through the eyes of our society’s most vulnerable.
Despite Judge Jackson’s sterling credentials, we anticipate the Far Right will do everything in their power to stop her from being confirmed. In fact, the attacks started well before we even knew who the nominee was!
Judge Jackson will bring a much-needed perspective to the Court as the Far Right seeks to relitigate some of our most precious and valued rights.
We’re prepared to do everything it takes to make sure Judge Jackson is confirmed as quickly as possible and we’re glad to have you with us in this critical fight for the future of our Supreme Court.
Tell your Senators to confirm Judge Jackson without delay >>
Thank you,
– Ben Jealous, President
