[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate to CONFIRM Nancy Abudu! Sign now >>
People For Supporter –
Fresh off the smear campaign attempting to sink Justice Ketanji Brown
Jackson’s confirmation, the Far Right has a new target: Nancy Abudu,
President Biden’s nominee for the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
Abudu – whose confirmation hearing is this Wednesday – is facing attacks
from multiple far-right organizations and pundits, attempting to portray
her legal career of advocating for the right to vote as a bad thing! A
recent op-ed from the far-right Judicial Crisis Network blasts Nancy
Abudu’s work with the American Civil Liberty Union’s Voting Rights Project
where she challenged legislation in multiple states that restricted the
freedom to vote. It's important to note, that the all-important Eleventh
Circuit that Abudu has been nominated to serve on includes Florida,
Georgia, and Alabama – states with a long history of voter suppression.
The Far Right is so opposed to Abudu that they’ve been flooding Senate
offices with messages to oppose her nomination. For example, the Family
Research Council alone has already reported more than 150,000 messages!
But with voting rights under attack like never before (and a narrowly
divided Senate), it’s vital that we counter their efforts, so we don’t
lose a single vote in favor of her confirmation!
[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to the Senate now and urge them to confirm voting
rights champion Nancy Abudu to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals! >>
When confirmed, Nancy Abudu would be the first Black woman ever to serve
on the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. A child of immigrants, Abudu’s
legal career has been devoted to upholding the rights of ALL, not just the
wealthy and well-connected.
In addition to her work defending voting rights, Nancy Abudu has also
fought for immigrants' rights, criminal justice reform, children's rights,
and LGBTQ+ rights.
Given her sterling legal credentials and deep commitment to civil rights,
it’s clear to see why those on the extreme right are eager to sink her
nomination.
[ [link removed] ]But we need People For members like you standing up to these attacks –
add your name today and urge the Senate to CONFIRM Nancy Abudu! >>
With your support and advocacy, we can continue to make history and undo
the harm caused to our federal judiciary by the Trump administration.
Thanks – as always – for all that you do.
In solidarity,
– Ben Jealous, People For the American Way
