Mobilizing for Judge Jackson’s Supreme Court Hearing
The week of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing started with a joyful rally on the steps of the Supreme Court. While People For President Ben Jealous prepared to attend opening day inside the Senate, People For staff and members gathered among the crowd to celebrate Judge Jackson’s nomination.
Rev. Leslie Watson Wilson, National Director of People For’s African American Religious Affairs, fired up the crowd at the start of the rally, proclaiming our joy and gratitude to be together in this historic moment.

THIS MONTH
What Judge Jackson’s Confirmation Will Mean
While People For has worked tirelessly to spread the word of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s excellent qualifications to serve as our country’s next Supreme Court justice, we have ensured that peoples’ individual perspectives and stories are centered throughout.
In particular, we wanted to show how much a Justice Jackson would mean to different communities and across generations. This month, we’ve produced videos that focus on the rights of people with disabilities and on what this means to young people, particularly those of color. Watch the stories of Richard Ray and Addison Rose!

Defending Democracy Across Generations
Anti-democratic authoritarianism is on the rise—both around the world and here at home. Americans don’t often recognize authoritarianism at home because they don’t want to. “Black Americans have never had a problem seeing the threat,” writes People For President Ben Jealous.
As the national conversation has been consumed by Vladimir Putin’s needless, vicious war in Ukraine, Jealous has written extensively on the way that this global conversation reflects on the dangers our American democracy currently faces. From the Right’s relentless attacks on the freedom to vote to former President Trump’s attacks on our fair elections, there has been a lot to talk about — particularly about what comes next.
