Friend, our judiciary is stronger when everyone can see themselves reflected in our courts - that’s why no matter where you live, Justice Maria Araujo Kahn’s nomination to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals should matter to you. [Sign and send the petition to the Senate: Confirm Justice Maria Araujo Kahn to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.]( [SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION]( Justice Kahn’s perspective and lived experience will bring needed representation to the bench. At the age of 10, she and her parents immigrated to the United States from Angola to escape the civil war. Her parents’ dreams for her future led Justice Kahn to her outstanding law career. Before her extensive judicial career, Justice Kahn worked as a public defender and represented juveniles in the criminal justice system. She also worked in the State of Connecticut Office of Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities, where she led civil rights litigation that resulted in crucial wins for deaf and hard of hearing people at hospitals, established due process rights for clients in state rehabilitation services, and more. Justice Kahn has dedicated her career to public service and equal justice for all. It would be an honor and a privilege to have Justice Kahn serve on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Senate should confirm her nomination without delay!
