Reject Trump’s nominees

Since taking office, the Trump-Pence administration has been pushing policies that take away the rights of people of color, LGBTQ people, and women. They’ve allowed employers to deny birth control coverage to their employees, cut teen pregnancy prevention programs, taken away protections for sexual assault survivors, tried to block women from getting care at Planned Parenthood, and promoted abstinence-only programs. Now, with Justice Kennedy’s decision to retire from the Supreme Court of the United States, Trump is using this vacancy to further his extreme agenda.

Trump promised to appoint only biased justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade. That means the right to access safe and legal abortion in this country is on the line.

We know this goes against what people in Washington and across the country actually want: 72% of Americans - including a majority of Democrats, Independents and Republicans - do not want to see Roe v. Wade overturned. And in the last 18 months, millions of people have marched, and flooded town halls and the halls of Congress to demand their rights.

And guess what?

We’re just getting started.

We will not stand for any nominee who will attack our health and our rights.
