FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 1, 2023

People Power United declares the Supreme Court has become unhinged.

In response to recent Supreme Court decisions, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:

“The Supreme Court has become unhinged. Brushing aside attempts to counteract racial inequality, and sanctioning LGTBQIA+ discrimination in our community, is willful regression in a country founded on the premise of liberty and justice for all. Furthermore the court’s decision to not protect student borrowers speaks to the Justices growing sense of privilege and entitlement as the court has moved from Supreme to Extreme. These decisions mark a shameful erosion of civil rights advances made in the past 50 years. For too long the Supreme Court has eroded its own legitimacy by abusing its power through attacking abortion rights, voting rights, gun safety reform, environmental reform, and other freedoms. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,” said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United.

People Power United will continue to push back against such harms to our community and to champion civil rights for all.
