I still remember the magical moment when we told so many of our students that 'next year is on us.' The Hurst Horizon Scholarship has been transformational within our community, and I'm so proud that Yale Law School is leading the way in changing how legal education is funded.

.Chris Matthews is right: Trump is trying to con poor voters. But they aren’t stupid. That’s why launched a campaign March 2 to reach 15 mil infrequent voters on issues that matter to them: living wages, healthcare & voting rights.

It's infuriating to see the list of crimes in Mississippi that lead people to lose the right to vote. Examples? Felony shoplifting, writing a bad check, receiving stolen property, and more. 50,000 people have lost their voting rights. Nearly 60% are Black themarshallproject.org/2024/03/25/mis…

Thrilled to hear that my good friend Nicole Berner has been confirmed by the Senate to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit! For the last 18 years, she has been an integral part of the work we do at SEIU. The federal bench is gaining one of the best. Congrats Nicole!

CONFIRMED: Nicole Berner as Circuit Court judge for the 4th Circuit.

I was so proud to fight for her confirmation.

She's a labor lawyer with 17+ years of fighting for people at SEIU.

And she's now the 1st openly LGBTQ+ person on the 4th Circuit.

Civil rights and labor lawyers like Nicole Berner remain underrepresented on the federal bench, and especially on our appellate courts. It’s vital that our judiciary, at all levels, reflects the diversity of the legal profession, including civil rights attorneys.

Experience matters. Representation matters.

Nicole Berner's dedication to workers' rights and legal expertise make her an invaluable addition to the federal bench.

That's why we're urging the Senate to support Nicole Berner's confirmation for the Fourth Circuit.
