Dear Chair Cassidy and Ranking Member Sanders:

On behalf of the National Women’s Law Center Action Fund, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and National Partnership for Women & Families, we write in strong opposition to the confirmation of Jonathan Berry to be Solicitor for the United States Department of Labor (DOL). The undersigned groups are committed to civil rights, workers’ rights, and gender justice and are deeply concerned about Berry’s extremist views on labor policy, which are demonstrated in Project 2025’s labor chapter, of which he is the author.1 Implementing his recommendations for the DOL would harm workers throughout the United States by undermining key civil rights and worker protections, resulting in less accountability for discrimination at work, greater economic uncertainty, increased workplace hazards, and limited job opportunities for women, workers of color, LGBTQI+ workers, workers with disabilities, and many other workers throughout the country.
