Dear John,
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has just made history, as the U.S. Senate voted to confirm the first Black woman Justice to the Supreme Court.
Of the 114 Supreme Court Justices in U.S. history, all but six have been white men, and less than 3% people of color.
But before the vote, Senate Republicans doubled down on their campaign of personal attacks, racist stereotypes and vicious lies. Sen. Lindsay Graham even vowed that if the Republicans take back the Senate, a nominee like Judge Jackson wouldn’t even get a Judiciary Committee hearing.
Will you help NOW keep up the fight for full representation, intersectional justice and a future built on fairness, equality and opportunity for all by making a special donation in honor of Ketanji Brown Jackson today?
As a NOW supporter, you are part of a thriving community that is pushing for an anti-racist and intersectional feminist agenda. But the tide of fearmongering, race-baiting and misogyny that’s on the rise in our politics stands in our way.
We can’t let Lindsay Graham’s prophecy come to pass. We have to work to elect Senators, members of Congress, Governors and state legislators who will defend women’s rights, advance equality and combat injustice in all aspects of life.
And we have to fight the disgusting, cruel and inhumane attacks on women’s bodily autonomy rushing through state legislatures, like the new Oklahoma abortion ban.
I know you share my pride in Ketanji Brown Jackson—and in the grassroots coalition that helped her win confirmation to the Supreme Court. But NOW’s signature brand of grassroots activism is needed more than ever—and we need you!
Please, make a special gift to NOW today. Let’s celebrate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson by recommitting ourselves to the progressive, feminist agenda we share.
