This is not only about a fair and just judicial system, but about a fair and just process. Never before has a president made a Supreme Court nomination, or a Senate confirmed a nomination, while so many ballots were already cast.

The Maine Women’s Lobby and Education Fund were founded by Mainers who recognized that some members of our community had greater access to opportunity and justice than others, and who made a commitment to change the underlying systems and structures that uphold that inequity. Dismantling oppression is in our DNA, and we join our community in standing up for the rights, dignity, and humanity of Black people.
