With only weeks left in its term, the Supreme Court is preparing to issue
a series of opinions that could impact everything from LGBTQ+ rights,
redistricting, and Donald Trump’s illegal effort to end birthright
citizenship.
For years, Republicans have been laying the groundwork to stack the courts
— legislating from the bench and using lifetime appointees to tip the
scales in their favor. They're not fooling anyone.
Now, as they ready themselves to issue opinions that could profoundly
affect millions of Americans, we’re ready to fight back — by building a
progressive movement to restore the ideological balance and legitimacy of
the Supreme Court and courts across the country. But we can’t do any of
this without you,
John.

Here are some of the important cases we’re watching:
* Birthright citizenship — this will likely be one of the most
significant cases that the justices will rule on in the coming weeks.
Their decision will have an impact that goes far beyond birthright
citizenship, and it could shift the balance of power between the
executive and judicial branches for years to come.
* LGBTQ+ rights — the Court appears poised to uphold state bans on
gender-affirming care for minors and expanding religious exemptions by
letting parents opt their kids out of reading books from LGBTQ+
authors or with queer characters. This follows the Court’s earlier
decision to uphold a ban on transgender Americans from serving in the
military.
* Redistricting — the justices will decide whether to allow Louisiana to
continue using a voting map that includes two-majority Black
districts. This comes after the Court has spent years gutting the
Voting Rights Act, a landmark piece of legislation that outlaws
discriminatory voting practices, particularly those targeting Black
voters.
John, as
we've seen in the last few years, this Court has taken point in rolling
back years of hard-fought progress. From giving the President broad
immunity to commit crimes while in office to overturning Roe v. Wade,
canceling student loan forgiveness programs, and vastly expanding gun
rights, it’s pretty clear the Court has become nothing more than a GOP
rubber stamp.
That’s why groups like Demand Justice are fighting back. By building a
diverse and progressive bench, we can strengthen our judicial system and
insulate our democracy from further attacks by an increasingly extremist
far-right.
They rely on the support of everyday folks just like you,
John. [ [link removed]- ]Can you fuel their
