Dear People For Supporter,

With the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court,
President Biden has taken a historic step by naming an extraordinarily
qualified nominee who will be the first-ever Black woman on our nation’s
highest court. Now it’s up to us to help make history and ensure her
expeditious confirmation by the Senate.

To any objective observer, there’s no question that Judge Jackson is
highly qualified to serve on the Supreme Court. Over the span of her
career, she has demonstrated a commitment to upholding the constitutional
values of equality and justice for all.

Nevertheless, we’re seeing signs that a well-oiled and well-funded
right-wing smear machine is already starting to kick into high gear to try
and prevent the historic confirmation of this well-qualified Black woman
justice to our Supreme Court.

Confirmation of Judge Jackson will bring a much-needed perspective to the
Court as conservatives seek to roll back our precious and valued rights in
multiple areas of the law. But as you might expect – lacking any
reasonable, merits-based arguments on which to oppose Judge Jackson’s
nomination – the Far Right is already falling back on their traditional
playbook of fact-free smears to try and tear down a highly qualified
nominee.

For example, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, despite having
previously voted to confirm Judge Jackson to the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit, now seems to think that “the radical
Left has won President Biden over yet again.”^[1]

And, without a hint of irony, Carrie Severino of the Judicial Crisis
Network – a dark-money group that poured millions into getting Brett
Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch confirmed – ignored Judge Jackson’s stellar
credentials and tweeted that ... “Joe Biden ... is paying back the
left-wing dark money network.”^[2,3]

People
For has a decades-long history of fighting for courts that are fair, just,
and work for all of us – and we’re one of the lead organizations in the
broad coalition fighting to confirm Judge Jackson. We have a solid plan in
place to educate the public with events, videos, publications and other
materials about the importance of confirming our first Black woman
justice, and to organize pressure on senators to confirm her without
delay.

But as a grassroots-funded organization, we can’t do that without your
financial support – so we hope you’ll be able to step up with a donation
today.

Thanks so much for your support, and let’s make history together by
getting this extremely qualified nominee confirmed to the Supreme Court.

Sincerely,

Ben Jealous, President

P.S. Within minutes of Judge Jackson’s nomination, Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell put out a statement signaling his opposition, and
completely ignoring her qualifications^[4] – so it’s clear we’re going to
have a real fight on our hands. [ [link removed] ]We
hope you can chip in today to help us fight for her confimation.
