Contribute today to help us fight back against the Republican-controlled Supreme Court.

Help us build a stronger Democratic Party that will take action to restore our rights and "build the bench" of strong advocates at all level of government.

We are inspired by FDR. In 1937, New Deal Democrats and President Franklin D. Roosevelt faced a crisis like none before. A Supreme Court, controlled by big businesses and social conservatives, was blocking the ability of the Federal Government to provide relief to millions of Americans during the Great Depression and in the process threatening the very foundation of our democracy. 

In response, President Roosevelt devised a powerful plan: seek Congressional approval to add new justices. While Congress did not ultimately pass the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, the result nonetheless was a clear success. Supreme Court Justice Owen Roberts, recognizing that the legitimacy of the institution was under threat, took action and flipped his support in favor of the New Deal. 

We are in a similar crisis today. We need a Democratic Party that will do whatever it takes to win back our rights, including the option to pack the Supreme Court by adding new Justices. Our fundamental rights are not to be negotiated with extremist Republicans.
