#StopKavanaugh: Take Action to Save SCOTUS
Judge Brett Kavanaugh's record demonstrates a hostility to protecting the rights of women, workers, immigrants, and consumers. The fate of health care, voting rights, immigrant justice, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, workers' rights, civil rights, criminal justice reform, and more are all at stake. Read our statement, contact your Senators and urge them to reject the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and share the alert with your networks.
