Senators must prioritize confirming judges now!
We can’t afford to wait for justice – or fair-minded judges. Right now, there are amazing judicial nominees who could improve the lives of millions of people in our communities waiting to be confirmed. We need these highly qualified, fair-minded judges on the bench!
Your voice matters
The only thing standing between your community and judges who will work for all of us are your senators - and they work for you. So make your voice heard! There are only a few dozen workdays left in the Senate calendar. Tell your senators to use that time to confirm fair-minded judges!
Take action now!
This is urgent.
The Trump administration spent four years getting as many MAGA judges confirmed and they could, careening our courts to the far right. At this point in 2020, Mitch McConnell confirmed 16 Trump judges by the end of the year, including one Supreme Court confirmation. We need to confirm even more Biden judges who will make our justice system work for all of us, not just the wealthy and powerful.
We've passed Trump's total.
The Senate has confirmed an outstanding roster of fair-minded judges under the Biden administration.
Nominees we need
Across the country, there are dozens of fair-minded judicial nominees waiting for votes. Confirming these nominees would mean millions of people across the country would have access to a judge who understands that our courts must work for all of us - not just the wealthy and powerful.
Learn more about these priority nominees, find nominees in your state, and tell Leader Schumer to prioritize confirming these nominees!
