#1 Today is“LOVING DAY!”
The biggest action you can do today for racial justice is to call your senators to vote against racist judicial nominees Justin Walker and Cory Wilson getting more powerful, lifetime seats.
Justin Walker received his cloture vote and will be on the Senate floor tomorrow (Friday) or Monday. This McConnell protege is aiming for a spot on the DC Circuit Court, the second most powerful court in the country and a natural springboard to the Supreme Court.
Please, go through your contact lists, your rolodex, whatever you have, and find all your friends, family and acquaintances in states with GOP senators. Call/email/text them to call their senators too. We just need 4 senators to cross the aisle here and keep this horror off this court.
Go here for call script and senator contact information for you AND your friends.
