Every Policy Battle Is A Legal Battle

Why why need movement lawyers in this moral moment

Jonathan and I wrote yesterday about the disastrous decision by the Supreme Court majority that only makes more clear the need for We the People to reclaim democracy in America.

Now Is the Time to Intensify Our Agitation

Now Is the Time to Intensify Our Agitation

In the final decisions of this term, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling today that is a troubling capitulation to MAGA’s madness. Trump will no doubt welcome this decision as an invitation to continue his extreme abuses of the power. We must meet it with a firm determination to intensify and embolden our agitation.

Today I had the opportunity to address the North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers annual meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our history teaches us that every movement that has pushed us toward a more perfect union has needed movement lawyers.

The ancient prophet Micah tells of a moral moment when God brought a lawsuit against the people and called the mountains to serve as members of the jury. This prophetic text can help us glean wisdom from history for the movement we must build today. I’m glad to share this message with you and invite you to share it with the lawyers and justice seekers in your life.
