The latest news is that
the Senate may vote this weekend on whether to confirm Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court.
Donald Trump's
verbal assault on Christine Blasey Ford has underscored
how toxic and vicious the effort behind Kavanaugh has become.
If you haven't yet responded to the email below, we hope you'll do that now.
If you've already responded, please
click here to amplify our impacts.
If you believe what Christine Blasey Ford has said about being sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh,
please take a moment now to tell her -- directly.
Click here to go to a special webpage that RootsAction has set up -- IbelieveyouChristine.org -- where you can quickly sign a petition with that clear message: “I believe you Christine.”
Now that she has testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee,
her courage deserves clear expression of support from all who appreciate her bravery.
When you
sign the petition, you’ll have the option to add a personal note. RootsAction will deliver the petition c/o her legal team.
After signing the petition here are two other important things you can do:
*
Click here to ask your Senators to reject the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh. *
Help RootsAction continue to do this work. Kavanaugh
has almost certainly lied under oath to Congress.
He has worked to
deny rights to African-Americans, to Hawaiians, to women, and to voters.
He has striven to
expand presidential powers to launch wars.
He has been accused of sexual assault, a charge that must be investigated.
His confirmation would take U.S. laws in several very dangerous directions for a long time to come. After doing this action,
please use the tools on the next webpage to share it with your friends.
This work is only possible with your financial support.
Please chip in $3 now.
