The changing nature of the Supreme Court raises grave concerns. With a nomination to replace the moderate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the Supreme Court is at an ideological tipping point. The stakes could not be higher for the American people on the issues of the environment, civil rights, workers rights, privacy and women’s health. The voices of concerned North Carolinians deserve to be heard during this nomination process.

The NC Just Ask for Justice Coalition is committed to representing the questions and concerns of North Carolinians. On behalf of NC citizens, the coalition urges the Senate Judiciary Committee to thoroughly question Harriet Miers about her views on constitutional protections for the environment, civil rights, the right to privacy, and women’s health and safety.

There are several ways to get involved:

 Attend the Just Ask for Justice roadside rally/visibility event 12-1 p.m. in front of the Federal Building in Raleigh, on the day that Miers’ hearings begin.

 Create a t-shirt! Can’t come to Raleigh? Design a t-shirt that articulates your concerns about Harriet Meirs and/or the Supreme Court, and submit it to the coalition. We will be displaying hundreds of these t-shirts from activists across North Carolina on a clothesline alongside our rally to create a powerful, symbolic and visual representation of our concerns. For a registration form and complete details, email: gailya@nc.rr.com

 Host a t-shirt making party! Gather your friends and neighbors together for an evening to make t-shirts, discuss current issues, enjoy good food and company! Contact gailya@nc.rr.com if you would like to open up your party to other “pro-choice” supporters in your neighborhood.

 Help with organizing and outreach! Email gailya@nc.rr.com for Just Ask for Justice fliers and registration forms. Distribute to your friends, neighbors, social and spiritual communities—get them involved with the campaign!

Your participation in this campaign will help us voice our concerns to Senator Dole and Senator Burr in a powerful visual display, making clear to them and our fellow Americans that the voices of North Carolinians.
