Hi All,

We are living through some very scary times. The Senate has just confirmed Amy Coney Barrett as the latest Trump addition to the Supreme Court, filing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s spot on the bench. It is unbelievable that there was no way to stop this confirmation, packing the stage for a conservative Supreme Court for decades to come. It will have long lasting effects on every aspect of our lives, from freedom of speech, to women’s rights, abortion rights, civil rights, racial justice, gun laws, immigration, vaccinations, and possibly the next president. It is a very sad day.

We are down to the wire! This is the last week before Election Day, and everyone is a little stressed over the prospect of not knowing who the next president will be, even after the election. Trump has denounced a smooth transition of power, and if he loses, he is planning on taking it to the Supreme Court. He is dividing this country, promoting hate and violence, ruining the environment, and alienating us from our allies, not to mention his negligence in dealing with the pandemic. Early voting is in full swing in New York and other parts of the country. The lines are long, but it is essential that we all exercise our right to vote and do our part! If you have anytime to dedicate to phone banking or texting, this is the last opportunity to help make a difference.
