Dear John,
President Biden's nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court is not only historic, but it's extremely consequential to the future of racial and climate justice in our country.
Her nomination couldn't have come at a more critical time, either. If confirmed, Judge Jackson will serve as the first Black woman on the nation's highest court — a milestone for racial equity and real representation on the Court — and she will rule on consequential cases affecting voting rights, equality, environmental justice, and so much more.
The eminently qualified Judge Jackson, who served with distinction for over eight years on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where she wrote nearly 600 opinions, has been confirmed three times previously on bipartisan votes — including by both of Maine's U.S. Senators — and there is no reason why she should not be confirmed now.
Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King will play a pivotal role in the process, and it's being reported that Sen. Collins could be the sole Republican to vote in favor. We must ensure both vote for her confirmation.
Send a message urging Sens. Collins and King to confirm Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court without delay.
