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 40 federal judicial vacancies and 16 nominations before the Senate right now—as our civil rights hang in the balance, take action now!
The National Women’s Law Center, People for the American Way, and nearly 80 undersigned organizations sent the following letter to the full Senate urging confirmation of Julie Rikelman to the First Circuit. Julie Rikelmen is an exceptional attorney with a demonstrated commitment to protecting the rights of all people, regardless of their gender, income, or background. Rikelman was first nominated on August 1, 2022 and renominated at the start of the 118th Congress.
