Tell Schumer to Confirm Pro-Democracy Judges in the Final Session
Congress is back for the final session of the year and Senate Democrats only have a few more weeks in the majority. With another Trump presidency and a Republican-controlled Senate looming, Democrats must make the most of this time and do everything in their power to safeguard our democracy and our rights.
That’s why Senate Majority Leader Schumer must prioritize confirming pro-democracy judges in the final session. President Biden has nominated a slate of diverse, highly qualified candidates to federal judgeships. The Senate has confirmed over 200 of these judges, but there are many nominations still pending. Confirmations can be slow because there are a number of procedural hoops to jump through in the Senate - but with determination and long hours, Democrats can get this done. But we need Schumer to keep them in Washington long enough to confirm them all.
Federal judges serve for lifetime appointments, so it’s crucial that these positions are filled by candidates who are dedicated to upholding the Constitution and our democracy. And we know that if these seats are still vacant when he takes office, that Trump will nominate judges that will further the MAGA agenda from the bench.
Fill out this form right now and we’ll connect you to Senator Schumer. Tell him that you expect him to keep the Senate in session as long as it takes to confirm all of Biden’s nominees – even if it means staying late into the night or on weekends. Let him know that you're counting on him to do everything he can to protect our democracy from the incoming Trump administration.

Sen. Schumer Must Use the Final Session to Confirm as Many Pro-Democracy Judges as Possible
Hello, I’m a constituent from [part of state], and I’m calling to ask Senate Majority Leader Schumer to prioritize confirming pro-democracy judges during the final session of Congress.
The Senate has already confirmed over 200 of President Biden’s judicial nominees, but there are still many nominations pending. We need to ensure that those vacancies are filled by judges that will uphold the Constitution and our democracy before Trump returns to the White House. We cannot afford to have these lifetime appointments filled by Trump’s judicial picks, who will just further his MAGA agenda from the bench.
Tell Senator Schumer that I’m counting on him to keep Senate Democrats in Washington as long as it takes to confirm all of Biden’s nominees – even if it means working late nights and weekends, or coming back after the holidays. He must do everything he can to safeguard our democracy before Republicans take control of the Senate.
