Friend,
The beginning of the next Supreme Court term is right around the corner on October 3. And after the Court’s attacks on our democracy and fundamental rights in the last term, the arrival of another term is nothing short of alarming.
And it’s not just Supreme Court justices who are attacking our rights. As hundreds of newly minted far-right Trump judges (the most conservative in modern history) on the lower courts also begin to erode our more cherished rights, we can and must do more to push back against their attacks.[1]
As we look ahead to the upcoming Supreme Court term starting next month, it’s clear that voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights, environmental protections and more are at risk as far-right justices lay waste to longstanding precedents and legal doctrine.
But we can build upon the progress of the Biden administration as they continue to nominate, and the Senate continues to confirm, judges who would restore the integrity and fairness to our federal judiciary – with your help.
When you register to attend, you’ll also be able to submit a question ahead of time for our panelists.
This is sure to be a lively and engaging conversation about the courts – one you surely won’t want to miss.
We hope you can join us on Thursday,
Elie Mystal
People For Senior Fellow
Justice Correspondent at The Nation
P.S. – We’ll also be discussing two new reports released by People For that offer a preview of the upcoming SCOTUS term and highlight the impact of President Biden’s judges so far.
