#ExpandtheCourt
Contemporary Art League is committed to supporting the community of art workers in Los Angeles County by building solidarity, equity, and unity within our field. The Supreme Court’s spate of recent decisions impact all of us immediately and position the court to impact us even more deeply in the future. Democracy is at stake, and we are disappointed, frustrated, and enraged. We have been feeling hopeless, which feels familiar from the early days of the pandemic when CAL was born out of a similar sense of despair. Hopelessness and despair can spur action; that is how CAL was formed and it is how we are responding to the Supreme Court’s recent rulings. Please join us in taking action to expand the court to protect human rights in our community and beyond.
Take Action Now (In less than five minutes)
Call your Member of Congress using the Demand Justice Call Now Tool . Once you’ve entered your zip code and the website dials for you, a script appears that you can base your message on.
Sign the Petition from Demand Justice to expand the court.
Get Involved
Indivisible is planning a week of action during the July 4 recess to talk to members of congress while they are in their home states. Learn more about We Won’t Go Back and get involved.
Looking Toward November
The next CAL Healthcare Working Group meets Tuesday, July 5 at 5pm. Along with our planned agenda, we will be discussing the recent SCOTUS rulings, what they mean for access to healthcare, and how CAL can support our community. Register here to join us via zoom; if you are not available during the meeting time, please register so that we can follow up with meeting notes.
In solidarity,
Contemporary Art League
