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 Legal Network for Gender Equity and the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund hosted this webinar “Restorative Justice for Workplace Sex Harassment and Sexual Violence” on Thursday, June 24, 2021.
