The Senate only has 23 days left to confirm judges before nominations expire! We need your help because NACA has endorsed two exceptional nominees, Mustafa Kasubhai (D. Ore.) and Noël Wise (N.D. Cal.), who still need to be confirmed. The Senate is juggling priorities, and needs to hear from us to set the agenda. As advocates, we know how important federal judges are, and how crucial it is that they are fair-minded and unbiased.

Hi, my name is [name], and I’m a constituent from [city].
I’m calling because I'm concerned about our courts. The Senate must prioritize confirming judges committed to economic justice this year, especially the nominees Judge Mustafa Kasubhai (D. Ore.) and Judge Noel Wise (N.D. Cal.). We need judges who will be fair-minded and protect the rights of all of us, not just the wealthy and powerful. Please confirm the pending nominees by the end of the year.
Some Tips:
-
Even if you’re expressing disagreement, be respectful. The person on the other end of the line could be an intern and it’s important to be kind even in our disagreement.
-
Be brief and concise. Your call will be recorded as a tally mark, not in detail. So no need to spend too long on the phone.
-
At the top of the call, mention that you are a constituent. Your call will be more impactful if the staffer knows you are from their state.
-
Keep it short, sweet, direct, and to the point.
