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.
