Take Action

Now is the time to double down on our advocacy to strengthen our courts and build toward the promise of equal justice.

A phone call, email, or other outreach will add immense pressure and will go a long way. It's time to call on our senators to make judicial confirmations a top priority, to insist that nominees awaiting full Senate action are confirmed as senators work through other key legislative issues, and to encourage the White House to nominate lawyers committed to civil rights and equal justice for all to all open vacancies. 

Our senators need to hear from us: They must prioritize getting the president’s current judicial nominees confirmed and seated on the bench as quickly as possible. 

We have seen historic nominees and an impressive number of confirmations. Now it’s time to build on that progress. We need to increase and focus our energy as we rapidly approach the 2024 elections. 

This is a moment for all of us to act — and we've prepared the tools to help you do just that. 

Before you act: know how to craft your ask 

In any interaction you have with your senators, you should be prepared to have a specific ask. Below you can find some talking points to use during that meeting. 

Introduction  

• I am reaching out in hopes that you will join our fight to create a more experientially and demographically diverse federal judiciary that ensures equal justice for all people.

• The Senate has made important strides by confirming more than 160 Article III judicial confirmations already, many of whom will bring critical experiential and demographic diversity to circuit and district courts around the country.  

• When people all walks of life come before our courts, we hope they will have confidence in those who don  the robes.  

The Ask 

• It is incredibly important to move swiftly to confirm all judicial nominees awaiting final confirmation.   

  • The work to confirm fair-minded  judicial nominees is one foundational aspect of restoring and protecting our rights for decades down the road, and can be done alongside your other priorities.  

• With this in mind, I urge you to  make judicial confirmations a top priority so we can continue building a stronger and fairer judiciary. 

• In addition to confirming current nominees, please encourage the White House to nominate lawyers committed to civil rights and equal justice for all to maximize the opportunity to remake the judiciary in a more just and equitable manner.
