John,

Did you know that employees of federal judiciary do not have the same
protections against sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation that
almost all other American workers have? 

The leaders of the federal courts have resisted the enactment of laws to
protect federal judiciary employees. The same judges who have to enforce
our national anti-discrimination laws have fought Congress’s attempts to
enforce workplace protections for workers in our federal courts. They claim
that there isn’t a problem with their system and that they should be able to
regulate their own behavior.

But there IS a problem.

Last week, I presided over a hearing to address the lack of workplace
protections for federal judiciary employees, and we heard from three brave
whistleblowers who have spoken out about harassment they experienced
while working in our courts.

The testimony these witnesses gave, and the countless other stories of
harassment, abuse, and discrimination that have come from the federal
judiciary, make it clear that Congress has to act.

I’ve introduced the Judicial Accountability Act to address this problem. The
Judicial Accountability Act will prohibit discrimination of employees in the federal
court system. It will prohibit retaliation against whistleblowers who speak out
against misconduct. 

Will you sign my petition to add your name in support of creating workplace
protections against harassment, discrimination, and retaliation in the federal
judiciary?

There are more than 30,000 people working for our federal courts. They are the
backbone of our nation’s federal system of justice. It’s time they feel safe in their
workplace and empowered in their work.
