Can – AND WILL – the Judiciary Save Us?

The role of the Judiciary is to uphold the Constitution and serve as a check on the other branches of government. But under Trump 2.0, the Supreme Court has been compromised, the Justice Department has been weaponized, and the Constitution has been undermined.

#### Who can we count on to resist this extremist agenda?

Until now, the answer has been a series of very brave and principled federal judges, who have blocked or reversed many egregious executive orders. Going forward, can we count on these same judges to uphold the Constitution—even as their jobs, and sometimes their lives—are threatened?

#### Join us and our expert panel for a discussion of the role of the Judiciary in stopping this administration’s agenda and what we, as committed grassroots activists, can do to restore faith in the legal system.
