Representation of people with disabilities on the federal bench is critically important. 1 in 4 Americans have disabilities, and our federal judiciary must reflect the people it serves. #FillEverySeat #CourtsMatter #DisabilityPrideMonth

Working people deserve to have their cases heard by judges who understand the challenges they face. We need more judges with disability rights law experience #FillEverySeat #CourtsMatter #DisabilityPrideMonth

A diverse judiciary helps instill trust in the justice system among underrepresented communities. Judges with disabilities bring a unique perspective and lived experience to the bench #FillEverySeat #CourtsMatter #DisabilityPrideMonth

Judge Jamal Whitehead was confirmed to the US District Court for the Western District of Washington in 2023. He was President Biden’s first judicial nominee with a disclosed disability. Representation matters. #FillEverySeat #CourtsMatter #DisabilityPrideMonth

It's #DisabilityPrideMonth. The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990, protecting workers with disabilities against employment discrimination. 26% of Americans have disabilities. Shouldn't the federal judiciary reflect that? #CourtsMatter

Our judiciary must reflect the diversity of the population of citizens that it serves. 26% of Americans have disabilities. It is crucial to nominate and confirm more judges with disability rights law experience #FillEverySeat #CourtsMatter #DisabilityPrideMonth

Millions of workers would have been freed from noncompetes under the FTC rule. Decisions like this confirm NELA’s efforts to seek appointment of judges who understand the everyday challenges of workers. washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…

Under current law, even when workers win, they lose. Judges often must reduce awards to plaintiffs by more than 90% to adhere to damage caps. It’s time to stop this unfair practice and #EndDamageCaps. enddamagecapsforworkers.com

Lilly Ledbetter stood up to her employer and fought for justice, not just to vindicate her own rights, but to improve the lives of others. A true champion of workers' rights, we were privileged to honor her at our 2009 Convention as a Workplace Hero.
