As a second Trump administration approaches, we’re running out of time to confirm as many federal judges as possible to provide a check on his presidential power and curb his stated policy priorities.
There are 43 federal judicial vacancies and 14 nominations before the Senate right now—as our civil rights hang in the balance, take action now!
(Washington, D.C.) Today, the United States Senate passed a bipartisan bill to address sexual harassment in Congress.
The following is a statement by Fatima Goss Graves, President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center:
“Today the Senate had a historic opportunity to join the House to deliver needed protections against sexual harassment for those working for the legislative branch, but its efforts fell short. Nevertheless, the Senate bill marks another important step in efforts to strengthen protections against sexual harassment—and the work is not done. We urge the House and Senate to come together in conference to develop legislation that will secure strong protections against sexual harassment for the legislative workforce and ensure accountability for harassers.”
