Indivisibles,
It’s finally happened: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has been confirmed as
the newest justice on the Supreme Court by a bipartisan 53-47 vote in the
Senate.
Over the past few weeks, we watched as Republican members of the Judiciary
Committee thoroughly disrespected Judge Jackson during her hearings in a
blatantly partisan attempt to smear her name in spite of her stellar
record. They did not succeed. She made it through the hearings unscathed
with her head held high and the adoration of the people. And now we have
confirmed the first Black woman and the first public defender to the
highest court in the country.
Today, we’re taking time to celebrate soon-to-be Justice Jackson, the
historic nature of her confirmation, and the much-needed perspective and
expertise she’ll bring to the Court. And we also know that the fight
doesn’t end here. The Supreme Court is still dominated by
hyper-conservatives bent on destroying abortion access, environmental
protections, immigrant rights, and more. We cannot put one Black woman in
the position of having to save the courts from themselves.
That’s why we’re still calling to expand the Supreme Court and institute
serious reforms to reclaim the Court’s legitimacy. Today we’ve gained an
incredible new justice who we know will approach her position with smarts,
determination, and compassion. Now, we must give her room to succeed by
adding seats to the Supreme Court and reversing the far-right takeover of
our judiciary.

senators and demanding they send her four new colleagues. This is what
it’ll take to save the courts and stop their ongoing attacks on democracy
and our constitutional rights.
Take some time today to celebrate this win -- it’s more important than
ever in these times when the wins can feel few and far between. However
you choose to mark this moment, we hope it’ll give you the energy you need
to keep pushing for more and better, tomorrow and every day.
In solidarity,
