Supreme Court Accountability Calls-To-Action
Call any (or all) Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee at (202) 224-3121 and say:
"Hi, I'm a constituent from ________, I am may or may not be in your state but as a Senator who sits on Senate Judiciary Committee you represent all Americans on these matters and as an American I am asking you to advocate for a Senate Judiciary hearing to conduct oversight on the Justice Department’s dropping the charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. It appears that President Trump illegally used his office to coerce the DOJ into overlooking crimes in favor of his cruel anti-immigrant agenda.

SCOTUS Cases
Vox: The Supreme Court hears a challenge to a DEI rule that genuinely needs to go
Ian Millhiser writes about Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services, which the Supreme Court will hear on Wednesday. He argues that the Court should unanimously throw out the “background circumstances” rule at issue–calling it “legally dubious” and “often impractical”--but questions whether the Court would overreach into Bostock.

Washington Post: The Roberts court’s first Trump II move: A quick sidestep

Together we can hold the Supreme Court Accountable
Equal justice in America depends on an impartial Supreme Court. Yet today, our highest court is dangerously compromised. Meant to rise above politics and interpret the Constitution with fairness, it now hosts a conservative majority that prioritizes ideology over constitutional principles—undermining individual freedoms and our democratic foundation.
Corruption, ethics scandals, and extreme political bias have cast a long shadow over its ability to safeguard rights. Critical issues like abortion, climate action, and fair elections hang in the balance. Every extreme ruling chips away at the fairness and equality our nation strives to uphold.
But hope remains. Across the nation, activists and organizations are demanding transformative reform. Congress must act now by:
Expanding the Court: Rebalance the bench with more justices.
Enforcing Term Limits: Prevent lifetime partisanship.
Instituting a Code of Ethics: Hold justices accountable.
These urgent reforms are essential to rebuild trust and ensure the Court serves all Americans—not just the powerful few.
How You Can Help:
Contact Congress: Urge your representatives to support key reforms.
Sign & Share Petitions and letter campaigns: Amplify your voice on social media.
Partner with Advocacy Groups: Join forces with organizations committed to judicial reform.
Write Op-Eds: Educate others about the urgent need for change.
Lobby & Organize: Engage with state legislators, join email campaigns, and participate in national actions.
Every decision from this Court affects our daily lives and the future of our nation. United, our voices can demand a fair and accountable Supreme Court that upholds justice for everyone. Join the fight for a better tomorrow—our democracy depends on it.
