Sign and send the petition: We need more Native federal judges. Confirm Lauren King!

Friend, [sign and send to your U.S. senators: Vote yes on Lauren King’s nomination for the Western District of Washington](. [SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION]( On September 30, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer filed cloture on Lauren King, judicial nominee for the Western District of Washington! The vote to confirm King is expected in the Senate imminently. With each of President Biden’s nominees that are seated on the federal bench, we are one step closer to restoring integrity and fairness to our federal courts after Trump’s ultra-conservative overhaul of the judiciary. With the vote coming soon, now is the time to contact your U.S. senators and urge them to vote yes on King’s confirmation. [Sign and send the petition: Vote yes to confirm Lauren King to the Western District of Washington.]( [SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION]( King is an [exemplary nominee](. She is an attorney at Foster Garvey PC, where she chairs the Native American Law Practice Group. She has also served as a pro tem appellate judge with the Northwest Intertribal Court System since 2013. King is a citizen of the Muscogee Nation and would be the first Native federal judge ever to serve in the state of Washington. Out of the 3,800 people who have served as federal judges, only five have been Native. Her historic confirmation would be particularly monumental for the more than 225,000 Native people living in Washington. Even if you don’t live in Washington, we can all agree that confirming nominees with extensive experience in civil rights and tribal law benefits our entire country. Confirming Lauren King moves us toward a future where all people see themselves reflected on the federal bench.
