Hi all, and happy Monday. Hope you had a restful weekend. I wanted to circle back and tell you about the meeting I had with my Congressmember’s office on Friday. The one organized by Demand Justice. (Spoiler alert: it was fantastic.) We had about a dozen people there, many of them folks who had never shown up to something like this before. My Congressmember’s staffer listened respectfully as, one by one, we all spoke about why we had lost faith in the courts, and why an independent Supreme Court mattered to us. I talked about reproductive rights and also my LGBTQ child. Others spoke about gun violence, unions, or general legal precedents. We all expressed a real concern that the Supreme Court was becoming a political entity that could no longer be trusted to serve the American people.
Whohoo. I can’t wait to hear you on Hubbell’s podcast. Yay!!!!
