People For Supporter –

As Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearings begin today, the
Far Right smear machine – as we expected – is already in full attack mode
to try and tear down this highly qualified nominee.

Late last week, far-right Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri launched a
particularly nasty and baseless attack (one eerily adjacent to the QAnon
conspiracy theory) that Judge Jackson is specifically soft on sex
offenders and child pornographers.^[ [link removed] ]

These allegations have, of course, been widely refuted by legal experts on
both sides of the aisle ... but that didn't stop Fox News from repeatedly
giving Senator Hawley a platform to amplify his smear, including with a
guest opinion column TODAY. And it didn't stop Senator Hawley himself from
repeating the debunked allegations in his opening statement in today's
hearing.



[ [link removed] ]We
can't let this go unanswered. If you're as disgusted by these baseless
attacks as we are, please renew your People For membership today with a
donation to help us rebut the smears and push for the swift confirmation
of Judge Jackson to the United States Supreme Court.

We thank you in advance for any support you can provide today, and we look
forward to working with you to confirm Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court.

Dear People For Supporter,

Senate hearings on President Biden’s historic nomination of Ketanji Brown
Jackson to the Supreme Court are scheduled to start on Monday.



Predictably, as we head into hearings week, we’re seeing a dramatic
escalation in both the tone and frequency of the Far Right’s attacks on
Judge Jackson. [ [link removed] ]We need your help to fight off these attacks – so can
you rush in a renewal donation today to help support our efforts?



Judge Jackson, of course, has an impeccable legal career, with a deep and
demonstrated commitment to civil rights. She will, without a doubt, be a
Justice who will protect the rights of ALL Americans, and will be
committed to America’s foundational principles of freedom, equality, and
the rule of law.

Yet despite her qualifications, the Conservative Action Project – which
counts among its members and alumni Ginni Thomas, Kellyanne Conway and
Steve Bannon – released a new letter this week calling on Mitch McConnell
to simply stop confirming ALL of President Biden’s nominees.

Additionally, Carrie Severino of the Judicial Crisis Network – the same
dark-money group that poured millions into getting Brett Kavanaugh and
Neil Gorsuch confirmed – resorted to guilt by association, casting the
broad coalition of groups supporting the Jackson nomination as “fringe”
and “radicals” – simply for supporting such a well-qualified nominee.



[ [link removed] ]Even though these attacks are completely baseless, the well-oiled and
well-funded right-wing smear machine will be going into overdrive next
week. Please renew your People For membership with a generous donation
TODAY to help us fight these smears and push Judge Jackson’s confirmation
over the finish line. >>



Here at
People For, this is an all-hands-on-deck moment for us. We don’t have
secretive billionaire funders like the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson,
so we won’t be able to match the Far Right’s propaganda machine dollar for
dollar.

What we DO have, however, is a network of more than a million fantastic
supporters and members just like you, and a decades-long history of
fighting for courts that are fair, just, and work for all of us.

And as one of the lead organizations in the broad coalition fighting to
confirm Judge Jackson, we have a jam-packed week of actions planned to
educate the public and organize pressure on senators to confirm her
without delay.



[ [link removed] ]But as a grassroots-funded organization, we simply can’t do that
without your financial support – so we ask you to renew your membership
and step up with the most generous donation you can possibly give 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
