Friend — earlier this month, we let you know about a backlog of judicial nominations that is putting voting rights and our environment at risk. Since then, senators have taken notice, confirming judges at a record pace.

So far, the Senate has confirmed 100 judges put forward by President Biden, over a dozen more than Trump and the Republican-controlled Senate had confirmed by this point in the Trump presidency. This is incredible proof that our campaign is working.

Here’s the problem — the nominations backlog is still massive. We need to keep pressuring senators to keep this a priority. Confirming these judges, quickly, is the single most important thing the Senate can do right now to protect democracy and the environment.

We need your help, Friend: we're turning to our members to make this campaign possible. We can protect our democracy and our climate… but only if grassroots supporters like you take action.

The absolute best way to help right now is to pitch in — even if it's just $5. We haven’t heard back from you yet — can you chip in today?

The stakes here are massive. Right now, several states are moving to restrict voting rights, end democratic ballot initiatives, and push restrictive voter ID laws. At the same time, federal courts are considering cases that could radically change elections and the right to vote in this country.

Appointing more pro-democracy federal judges is the best way to push back against these undemocratic laws and radical right-wing decisions from Trump appointees. Here are just a few of the incredible judicial nominees we’re urging the Senate to confirm right away:

The time for delay is over — the Senate must act. To protect our environment and democracy, senators must prioritize confirming the backlog of highly qualified judicial nominees. But we need your help to keep our campaign going and make sure our voices are heard.

Please, pitch in today — even $5 helps. Your gift will fund our campaign and give our movement the resources it needs to protect our democracy.

Thanks for joining with us.

Onward,
