andrew,

Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court is a step

toward righting a long history of injustice. With her confirmation, a Black
woman will be forever enshrined as a symbol of power, and will open
doors for so many women who will be able to see themselves reflected
in our leadership.

But this nomination is so much more than symbolic. The Supreme

Court makes decisions that last generations and reverberate throughout
history.

The only thing getting in the way is white supremacy. It's working hard to
tear her down, but we can't let them.

Don't get us wrong, we enthusiastically support Judge Jackson's historic

nomination. We also recognize that one Black woman Supreme Court
nominee, one Black president and one Black woman vice president
does not mean that racism no longer exists in this country. The
struggles for equity and racial justice will continue until we can
ensure every person, regardless of racial background, has equity
of opportunity to the resources they need to thrive.

It is crucial that the next Supreme Court Justice believes in using the law

If nominating and confirming a Black woman to the Court was easy, it

would have been done already. White supremacy never shies away, and
because of that, this will be hard -- but winning despite a system that is
rigged against us is what we've always done.

As a former public defender and the vice chair of the Sentencing

Commission, Judge Jackson not only brings a diverse lived experience,
but also a professional background and understanding that will influence
decisions and have a massive impact on our society and individual lives.
Our country is one step closer to finally getting the justice that is owed
and is one step closer to realizing its potential as a truly equitable,
representative democracy.

The reality is, it's been Black women who've been on the frontlines
fighting for voting rights, ending police violence and expanding
access to healthcare, childcare, education and policies that make
the lives of Americans better.

If you support Judge Jackson and believe that she deserves a swift
and fair confirmation, add your name today.

SIGN THE PETITION

In love and solidarity,

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation
