John —

Last month, President Biden nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court of the United States — the first Black woman to be nominated to the high court. 

If confirmed, Judge Jackson will bring deep experience in litigation and criminal legal reform to the bench. She also brings the unique perspective of a person with the experience of representing poor people charged with or convicted of crimes. This is a point of view that has been notably missing from the nation’s highest court.

This week, our executive director, Christina Swarns, wrote a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of Judge Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court. 

Take a moment to read her letter and thoughts about Judge Jackson here.

Thank you,
