We lost RBG. Then they packed the court. Fight back.
Today marks one year since we lost Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whom so many of us looked to as a leading progressive light and voice of reason at the Supreme Court.
Then Mitch McConnell slammed her successor through the Senate days before the 2020 election, tilting the balance of the Court further right than any of us had dared fear.
Make no mistake: The Supreme Court — and all our federal courts — hang in the balance in 2022. We must continue to control the Senate to ensure that President Biden can appoint judges to the courts.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy is our enduring battle. Our democracy's future, and the health and safety of all Americans, are at stake.
From Mississippi and Texas, Roe v. Wade is facing its most radical challenges ever. In states across the country, the right to vote itself is being attacked. And in Washington D.C., the Supreme Court is now packed with right-wing justices who regularly bend the law against our rights — around everything from voting, organizing, freedom from discrimination, and of course reproductive health — to benefit the wealthy and powerful.
2022 is everything. We must protect the U.S. Senate, so we can begin to turn the tide on our federal courts and do right by Ruth Bader Ginsburg's terrific legacy.
Onward.
