***Thanks to Indivisible National for this action***
Yesterday, news broke that Justice Stephen Breyer is set to retire from the Supreme Court at the end of this term. The current balance on the Supreme Court is skewed 6-3 to conservatives — and we cannot afford to lose another seat. With so much at stake, it is of the utmost importance that the person nominated to replace Justice Breyer upholds his legacy of protecting our constitutional rights and also represents those most affected by Supreme Court rulings.
President Biden reaffirmed that he will nominate a strong progressive Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Senators must ensure President Biden nominates a strong progressive and then act to speedily confirm President Biden’s nominee.
Call your Senators now and tell them you want them to urge President Biden to nominate a progressive Black woman who represents the diversity of this country. Then, demand they move with all deliberate speed to confirm her.
ACTION: Urge Biden to Quickly Nominate a Black Woman to the Supreme Court
Call both your Senators:
* Sen. Maria Cantwell: 202-224-3441 or http://www.cantwell.senate.gov/contact/email/form
* Sen. Patty Murray: 202-224-2621 or https://www.murray.senate.gov/write-to-patty/
Script: “With the news of Justice Breyer retiring, I am calling to ask that [Senator] urge President Biden to make good on his promise to nominate a progressive Black woman to the Supreme Court. I would also like the Senator to encourage a speedy confirmation of the nomination – we cannot risk losing another seat in the Supreme Court to conservatives. Thank you.”
