Fair CourtsWe can’t achieve equal justice without courts that work for all of us
Donate nowPeter,
The judges who sit on our federal courts should reflect the diversity of our nation. Our civil rights depend on it.
Unfortunately, in the last few years, more than 85 percent of the federal judges confirmed were White, and 65 percent were White men. Until last month, it had been 10 years since the Senate confirmed a Black woman to serve on an appellate court. And in the past five years, the Senate has confirmed only one Latino/a to serve on an appellate court. It’s bleak. But it can get better — with your help.
Please make a donation now to uphold civil rights and diversify our nation’s judiciary. This is a critical moment to make sure our judges reflect our communities and recognize the rights and dignity of all people — not just a powerful few.
Diversity matters. Communities depend on the federal courts and the judges who sit on them to administer justice and, importantly, recognize injustice from the perspective of many — not the narrow perspective of one. We need your help to make a system that works for all of us.Your donation supports: • Educating and organizing the public around the importance of federal courts and how the judiciary impacts issues like our freedom to vote, equal pay, disability rights, and more • Stewarding our Fair Courts Task Force, which brings together organizations across our coalition to ensure the confirmation of judicial nominees who will protect and defend civil and human rights • Advocating for fair-minded judges committed to civil rights who reflect the vast diversity of our country • Urging the White House and Senate to make this enduring work a priorityDonate NowEvery day, judges make decisions that affect our lives — decisions around voting rights, health care access, economic justice, and more.
With the Biden administration and Senate, we have new opportunities to fix our courts. It’s time to push for a diverse judiciary that reflects our communities and protects the rights of all of us.
Make a donation today to help build a federal judiciary that delivers on the promise of equal justice for all.
