Action Alert: Block Gorsuch Nomination to SCOTUS

Good afternoon and Happy Spring!

Call Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth today and URGE THEM TO BLOCK Neil Gorsuch for SCOTUS!

Neil Gorsuch has a long history of hostility towards the claims of workers, consumers, children, immigrants, LGBTQIA people, incarcerated people, people with disabilities. He has shown a track record of siding with billionaires and big corporations.

He is not a supporter of women’s rights, will not protect their access to birth control, nor their constitutional right to abortion through Roe v. Wade.

We need 41 Senators to block Gorsuch.

URGE Durbn and Duckworth to filibuster this nomination

Senator Dick Durbin: 202-224-2152

Senator Tammy Duckworth: 202-224-2854


SAVE THE DATES: Illinois National Organization for Women is a co-sponsor of both these events and we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO ATTEND BOTH OF THESE ACTIONS – more details to follow tomorrow:

April 5 – IL Women Moving Forward Advocacy Day: Come Lobby your state senator and representative in person here in Springfield for specific, positive legislation for women and girls in Illinois. YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER 10:30 AM

April 25 – IL Women March on Springfield: a broad coalition of progressive groups will rally, march and lobby for a progressive, intersectional agenda for Illinois.
