TELL YOUR SENATORS NOW: Confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court often has the last word on how — and sometimes even whether — environmental laws are enforced. Judge Jackson has proven that she belongs on the Court — and the Senate must confirm her nomination without delay.

Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

After enduring a gauntlet of asinine attacks from many of the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee in her confirmation hearings, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson proved beyond a doubt that she's prepared to be our next Supreme Court justice.

She is experienced. She is qualified. And her record shows that she respects precedent, protects democratic norms, and pursues equal justice for all people under the law. Now Congress must take the next step and confirm her historic nomination as the first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court.

The vote is just days away. Tell your senators now: Vote YES to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

Environmental laws are only as strong as the judges who uphold them. For too long, lax enforcement and environmental racism have left communities of color and low-income communities to suffer the devastating health impacts of toxic air and poisoned water.

And the next Supreme Court justice will have a voice in determining our ability to defend our environment. The justices weigh in on hugely consequential cases that will determine how we safeguard our right to clean air and water, fight the existential threat of climate change, protect public health, and much more.

This year alone, the Court will hear two cases that could have a profound impact on the government's ability to address the climate crisis and protect the nation's wetlands, streams, and waterways. Those cases underscore the importance of confirming justices and judges like Jackson.

Judge Jackson is the right person at the right moment. Her decisions and views will be both grounded in her legal expertise and informed by the values and insights of her lived experience as a Black woman. And with one vote, Congress can confirm her seat and move our country closer to a court that represents all of America.

Your senators need to know that their constituents support Judge Jackson's nomination. Send your letter now demanding her swift confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Thank you for speaking out during this historic moment.

Sincerely,
Kevin
