Dear MoveOn member,
The Supreme Court's term just ended, and one thing is clear: The MAGA justices were put on the court to protect Trump's agenda, not the people. We've seen this MAGA court making rulings that have given Trump the unlimited power to tear our communities apart and break the law—all without consequence.
This term, we've seen a number of devastating decisions, including these:
- Trump v. CASA: The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision allows Trump to rule unconstitutionally while limiting lower court's power to check his administration's attacks on our rights. Now Trump's executive order ending our constitutionally guaranteed right to birthright citizenship could go into effect within 30 days.1
- U.S. v. Skrmetti: Ruling that Tennessee can move forward with their ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.2
- Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic: The court rules that patients can't sue their states for refusing Medicaid coverage at Planned Parenthood health centers, opening the door for states to strip Medicaid coverage from Planned Parenthood centers across the country—resulting in patients not being able to get reproductive or sexual health care, including birth control, STI testing, cancer screenings, and more.3
- Mahmoud v. Taylor: The court ruled on the side of the religious parents—stating that they have the right to opt their children out of the curriculum with LGBTQ+ storylines.4
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans packed the court with extremist judges to do one thing: rule in their favor. We've seen Trump-backed judges give him more power time and time again.
They've ruled that he has presidential immunity.5 That Trump is allowed on the ballot even if he incited an insurrection.6 They worked alongside him and anti-abortion extremists to overturn Roe v. Wade and take away our right to abortion.7
We know the Supreme Court won't save us, but we can fight back. If you're wondering how to get involved: MoveOn launched the ACT program, which provides members with training on how to organize in their communities and defend democracy. Sign up now!
It's up to us to hold accountable our elected officials and work to reform the court, stop Trump from packing SCOTUS with more right-wing justices, and come together to stop these attacks on our community!

Thanks for all you do.
