Leading progressive law and policy organization committed to individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, access to justice, democracy & the rule of law.
Standing and protesting with everyone demanding justice for George, Ahmaud, Breonna, and all Black lives. We will fight to root out the structural, systemic racism at the core of our criminal legal system.
.@AGEllison is right: Structural, sytemic racism influences the way that our laws are enforced. We need reforms to address the discriminatory implementation and enforcement of the law.
The Supreme Court has used the shadow docket to flout its responsibility to uphold the rule of law and protect women’s rights. We cannot and will not sit idly by while this court disregards decades of precedent and allows for years of hard-won freedoms to be stripped away.
“The Court’s order is stunning…a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and…a majority of Justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand.”
- Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor

Statement by ACS President @russfeingold on TX abortion ban:
"Reproductive rights have never been more in peril than they are right now. The single leading reason for this is the U.S. Supreme Court."

“The courts should look like the people they represent and serve. The racial, gender, and professional diversity displayed in the Biden-Harris administration’s first slate of judicial nominees is an excellent start” ACS President @RussFeingold
