Right now, the daily reality of people’s lives is clearly not reflected on the Supreme Court.

Women of color -- particularly Black women and Latinas -- have suffered the most from the conservative Supreme Court majority and Antonin Scalia’s right-wing decisions. When the Supreme Court limits access to abortion, rolls back voting rights, and sides with corporations over people, it is women of color who face the most intense injustice.

That is why our president should unapologetically nominate a proud progressive woman of color who comes from and is committed to the complete inclusion and empowerment of our country’s growing communities of color -- whose very presence will help correct the centuries-old gender and racial imbalance on the court.
