John,
With Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to the Supreme Court,
history is unfolding before our eyes as she has become the first Black
woman in our nation’s history to occupy a seat on its highest court.

Despite all the slander and the aggressively racist, misogynistic
posturing by numerous Senate Republicans, Justice Jackson made it clear to
53 Senators that she is incredibly qualified and ready to serve.
Justice Jackson will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the
Court and you should be deeply proud today -- and ready to do everything
it takes to Establish Justice across America tomorrow and beyond.
This historic confirmation will not be the end of this story -- it will be
the beginning because if we work hard throughout 2022, November will bring
even more historic moments for establishing justice as we work to elect
outstanding candidates for statewide judicial seats, Attorneys General,
and State and District Attorneys.

The truth is Republicans have continued to stack the courts with
conservative judges because they know that our courts hold a tremendous
amount of power over so many issues that impact everyday people.
That’s why DFA members have been on the front lines in the battle to
Establish Justice nationwide for years, from helping elect Keith Ellison
in Minnesota to Kim Foxx in Chicago, Larry Kasner in Philadelphia, Wesley
Bell in St. Louis, and Chesa Boudin in San Francisco.
Last year, we picked up a key victory by helping Lori Dumas become only
the second Black woman ever elected to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth
Court. And now we have 5 early key races on our Establish Justice slate so
far for 2022, with more to come:
* Keith Ellison, Attorney General – MN
* Letitia James, Attorney General – NY
* Rob Bonta, Attorney General – CA
* Diana Becton, District Attorney - Contra Costa County, CA
* Alana Matthews, District Attorney - Sacramento County, CA

Justice Jackson has already made an extraordinary legacy and will continue
to do so on the Supreme Court.
Now, let’s make sure we continue to elect people across the nation that
will fight to Establish Justice.
