Iowans need a comprehensive COVID-19 package from Congress. Instead we’re seeing Senators Grassley and Ernst moving full steam ahead to fast track a problematic Supreme Court nominee less than a month before Election Day.
There is so much at stake with this nomination process. The nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, holds extreme positions on areas of the law on which victims of sexual assault depend, and we cannot afford the drastic upending of these support systems. Survivors deserve and depend upon comprehensive healthcare services, Title IX protections, and full access to reproductive healthcare that Judge Barrett’s confirmation would threaten to overturn.
We need you to let your Senators that Judge Amy Coney Barrett is NOT the right person to sit on the highest court in the land.

Here's a sample message you can send them:
Dear Senator,
I am writing to you as your constituent to demand that you commit to waiting until inauguration day before considering or confirming a new Supreme Court justice to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Nationally, we’ve just hit more than 200,00 COVID-19-related deaths in this country. Nearly 1,500 of those deaths were Iowans: our friends, our family, and our neighbors. Our state’s hospitalization count is the highest it has been in 5 months. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 on Capitol Hill and in the White House highlights the urgency of getting the pandemic under control, and must take priority over this rushed process to put Judge Amy Coney Barrett onto the Court.
We want a Supreme Court that is just and fair—and we need it. Our nation is reeling from a global pandemic. We are fighting against state-sanctioned violence and unjust policing. And we need a nominee who will provide equal justice under the law, not a justice who will only jeopardize racial justice, health care access, and so many more issues. There is too much at stake to rush through a Supreme Court nominee now.
Please don’t consider or move forward with a new Supreme Court justice before the inauguration.
You're awesome! Thanks for taking action with us today!
