The Supreme Court is coming for every aspect of our multiracial democracy. This term, racial justice in higher education is on the chopping block. @trisquire for @TeenVogue on the effort to end affirmative action:

This Thursday, @trisquire, @jennyhunterdc, @TomWrightACS, and @katieoconnoresq will be assessing the last two years of judicial nominations and discussing what must come next if we want to build a truly pro-people judiciary. Join us: https://t.co/cX2hYLP6Mm

With less than two years left in President Biden's first term, we can't wait any longer for the White House to truly commit to building a pro-people federal judiciary: join us tomorrow at 10am PT for a conversation about how to make that happen! https://t.co/MJkCpF58L7

President Biden has made judicial nominations a top priority — but there's still a long way to go if we want to see a federal judiciary that works for the people.

The corporate lawyers’ letter raises the question: Who supports LaSalle? It’s the people who have spent their entire careers ensuring the law works for corporate interests at the expense of working people. That tells you everything you need to know about this nominee. (4/6)

[People's Parity Project @PeoplesParity]

Partners at 19 Big Law firms in New York recently came out in support of Hector LaSalle, Gov. Kathy Hochul’s conservative Chief Judge nominee. They argue LaSalle is “highly qualified” for the position. But New Yorkers who care about justice disagree.

THREAD. In lower courts across U.S., what is happening is not just a political movement that rejects cherished concepts of liberty and mercy. It is an assault on the concept of good faith intellectual discourse, and on law itself. It raises a question: what must lawyers do?

Thank you to @HealthyUCLA and the generous support of Jane & Terry Semel for allowing us to partner with MindWell in the recent award of our funding grant. We are so excited to host an event about mental health and self-care in the legal profession next semester, stay tuned!

Funding for the NLRB has been static since 2014, even as petitions to form a union are up 58% in 2022 compared with 2021.

If we don't fully fund the NLRB, the laws that protect unionizing workers go unenforced. Tell your senators that's unacceptable: https://t.co/TXqh506SVM

TODAY - Academic Workers at @UCLA deliver an Unfair Labor Practice directly to the office of the Dean of the Life Sciences. Their retaliation doesn't scare us. They're retaliating because they're afraid!

Beautiful highlights of our strike at UCLA, filmed by @RafiknWahbi 📸

It wasn't just control of the House and Senate on the ballot last week; the elections also had big consequences for state supreme courts nationwide.

What all happened? Our State Courts Manager, @BillyCorriher, breaks it down for @GOVERNING:

🧵1/ On Monday, @Harvard_Law students participated in the years long tradition of DisOrientation. This event is designed every year with love by an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-carceral collective of students to tell the history of HLS that administration avoids.

UCLA Law: Sign the petition and share! All students, faculty, and alumni welcome to sign! https://t.co/Qc2w1HtT1D

The elections are (almost) behind us. But the stolen Supreme Court means that democratically enacted change will continue to be at risk — unless we reform the court.

Join us Monday at 12:00 ET for a conversation about what's next in the fight for reform: https://t.co/qefk9mss1k
