Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s wealth of experience and tireless commitment to justice for all make her an exceptional nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Her confirmation and the perspective she will bring as a former public defender, member of the United States Sentencing Commission, and more would strengthen the nation’s confidence in the Court – and bring an end to the historical shame of more than two centuries without a Black woman on the bench.

Common Cause hasn’t supported a nominee to the Supreme Court before – but this time, we couldn’t stay on the sidelines. [1]

Judge Jackson’s leadership in the law, lived experience, and commitment to the Constitution will strengthen the Court’s legitimacy – and by extension, strengthen our democracy. Given the fraught moment that our democracy is in, this couldn’t be more vital.

In the coming years, the Supreme Court will likely make decisions that impact the freedom to vote, Big Money’s role in politics, government ethics – nearly every democracy issue that you and I care about. We believe that these decisions should be influenced by an immensely qualified jurist who will ensure that each and every one of us is treated equally under the law.

That jurist is Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson – and we are thrilled to join the call for her confirmation.

If you believe that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson would make an excellent addition to the U.S. Supreme Court, add your name today.
