Alliance For Justice Action Campaign

State Courts Matter

State courts decide over 95% of all cases in the United States – which means they are making the decisions that affect your community, your safety, and your rights. These courts have the last word for millions of workers, consumers, women, students, people with disabilities and pre-existing conditions, and more. They also play a critical role in protecting our democracy, making decisions on voting rights and redistricting. 

Roe Isn’t the First.
And It Won’t Be the Last.

Put People First:
Vote McCormack and Welch

Past Campaign: Vote Karofsky: Jill for Justice

Past Campaign: Stop Menashi

Steven Menashi is nominated for a lifetime seat on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. Until recently, Menashi was Betsy DeVos’s right hand man at the Department of Education as she attacked protections for access to public education, survivors of sexual assault, LGBTQ students, and more. Now, working in the White House counsel’s office he’s worked closely with Stephen Miller on advancing some our nation’s most draconian immigration policies and has refused to clarify his potential role in the cover-up of Trump’s Ukraine call and activities at the heart of the House impeachment inquiry.

With your help, we can defeat Menashi.

Past Campaign: Stop Rao

President Donald Trump has nominated Neomi Rao to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.  Rao currently serves as Administrator of the federal Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Under Rao’s leadership, OIRA has signed off on efforts to roll back protections for survivors of campus sexual assault; halted a data-collection program on gender pay disparity; worked to roll back protections against racially-based housing discrimination; engaged in a process to eliminate Affordable Care Act protections for LGBTQ patients, and more. 

Past Campaign: Stop Readler

There’s a new Trump nominee for a lifetime seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit that you should know about: Chad Readler. If he's confirmed, his decisions from the bench would affect the country for decades to come.

Past Campaign: Stop Kavanaugh

On July 9, Donald Trump announced the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh the U.S. Supreme Court. Read more to learn how you can join the fight to #StopKavanaugh.
