Senate Republicans' bogus confirmation hearing for Amy Coney Barrett begins today.

Filling a Supreme Court vacancy this close to an election is unprecedented.

Trying to rush through the process despite a COVID-19 outbreak shows the GOP's desperation. savescotus.indivisible.org
The GOP is prioritizing a political power grab over pandemic relief.

Republicans who were exposed to COVID at the superspreader event that was Barrett’s announcement ceremony are even refusing to get tested or quarantine, putting lives at risk just to avoid delaying the hearing.
Amy Coney Barrett is a direct threat to Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy.

She has consistently demonstrated her right-wing extremism throughout her career.

She would uphold Trump’s agenda for decades to come if confirmed.

She is a conservative’s dream to fill RBG’s seat.
Reproductive rights are on the line.

Amy Coney Barrett has heavily criticized Roe v. Wade and made it clear she will ignore precedent and overturn laws when she wants to.

The ability of millions of Americans to access abortion and other reproductive care is in serious jeopardy.
Health care access is on the line.

Amy Coney Barrett has openly opposed the Affordable Care Act and the decision to uphold the individual mandate.

With another ACA case scheduled right after the election, health care coverage for millions of Americans is once again in danger.
LGBTQ equality is on the line.

She was paid by an anti-LGBTQ hate group to deliver a lecture.

Workers' rights are on the line.

She's sided with corporations over workers in alarming rulings. Her first opinion issued as a judge helped a company racially segregate its workforce.
Police accountability is on the line.

Amy Coney Barrett has asserted opposition to basic criminal justice reforms.

Our democracy is on the line.

She opposed the Mueller investigation. She could hand the upcoming election to Trump if it comes down to a Supreme Court ruling.
Tell your senators that Amy Coney Barrett is unacceptable and they must commit to vote against her confirmation. Our tools will make it easy for you to call, email and tweet at them.

We knew that Donald Trump's pick to fill the Supreme Court vacancy would be bad -- especially under these circumstances -- but Amy Coney Barrett is a truly horrifying pick.

Judge Barrett is a conservative’s dream to fill RBG’s seat.
Let us explain why. 👇
She's heavily criticized Roe v. Wade -- calling the landmark ruling "a framework of abortion on demand" -- and made clear that she will ignore precedent and overturn laws as she sees fit. She's attacked efforts to ensure access to contraception as an assault on religious liberty.
She's openly opposed the Affordable Care Act, critiquing the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the individual mandate. Another ACA case is scheduled to begin just one week after November’s election. Confirming Coney Barrett would be an insurmountable barrier to the ACA's future.

#BreonnaTaylor was murdered. Hard stop. And this is not justice. She should be alive today, and her killers should have been fired and prosecuted for her murder. The lack of accountability is staggering. Breonna Taylor and her family deserve so much more than this. #SayHerName
This ongoing violence by law enforcement is systemic. It isn't a question of good vs. bad cops -- it is an indictment of the entire institution. We are beyond the point of police reform.
It's simply not enough to discuss a need for more bias training or body cameras. We must demand transformative change. We must defund the police and reinvest in community services to keep everyone safe. indivisible.org/defund-police-…

Trump will announce his Supreme Court nominee on Saturday so we wanted to give you a preview of one judge that's on his shortlist. Let’s talk about Amy Coney Barrett. This is a big deal. If Barrett is confirmed the Court will work to preserve the Trump agenda for decades to come.
We already know what kind of justice Amy Coney Barrett will be. Trump himself has laid out a litmus test for all of his judicial nominees.

1⃣Trump only wants judges who will overturn Roe v. Wade

2⃣Trump has made clear that he is seeking a justice hostile to the ACA
Those aren’t the only reasons Amy Coney Barrett would be dangerous as a Supreme Court justice. Barrett’s confirmation would threaten these hard-won advances for LGBTQ equality, and will pose a threat to future fights. nwlc.org/wp-content/upl…

URGENT: @MittRomney has sided with Trump & McConnell to move forward with consideration of a Supreme Court nominee to replace RBG. This situation is moving quickly but we wanted to give an update on where we are now.
We're moving forward as planned:
📣 Friday we're urging folks to show up to their Senator's district offices and make their voices heard.
☎️ Saturday we need people phonebanking to help us flip the Senate, which is now more important than ever.

We have not lost this fight yet.

Read that again. We have not lost this fight yet.

We plan to keep going until all the votes have been cast. All this means is that the nomination will go forward, but it's not yet guaranteed that the nominee will actually be confirmed.

There's a lot happening, but here are four ways you can help save the Supreme Court right now. 👇

Tweet at your senators and tell them a Supreme Court vacancy can't be filled before the new president is inaugurated.

We've put together a tool that makes it easy for you: act.newmode.net/action/indivis…
We've also put together a tool to help you email your senators and insist there should be no Supreme Court confirmation before the next inauguration: act.newmode.net/action/indivis…

The Supreme Court vigil to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg is about to begin. You can watch here: pscp.tv/w/1yNxaBvVPZDKj (via @WeDemandJustice )
.@Leahgreenb: "We are here today on the steps of the Court to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And for many women, we are quite literally where we are today in our careers, where we are in our lives, because of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and what she made possible."
.@Leahgreenb: "Her brilliant leadership in the battles for women's rights shaped the country that we grew up in. Her commitment as a Supreme Court Justice to gender & racial equity, to a just democracy, have been guiding lights for a movement of women in a dark & terrible time."
