CFPA is co-sponsoring this rally spearheaded by Indivisible chapters in Cranbury and Highland Park, NJ. to oppose far right extremist and corrupt decisions issued by the US Supreme Court.
2:00 PM on Sunday, October 20
Hinds Plaza, adjacent to the Princeton Public Library
at 65 Witherspoon Street in Princeton.
A parking garage on Spring Street is adjacent to the Plaza.
The Rally will urge attendees to take action to that demand Supreme Court Justices are not bought and paid for by the highest bidder, and must follow an enforceable code of ethics. Some of our Supreme Court Justices have been bribed by oligarchs to issue decisions removing power from the people and awarding it to corporations who place profit over public health and safety. There has been a right-wing extremist, corrupt takeover of the Court, and we demand a return to a code of ethics that is followed by every other federal judge in this country.
Confirmed speakers include:
- The Rev. Bob Moore, Executive Director of the Coalition for Peace Action and of Ceasefire NJ, will address the decisions that have severely weakened gun safety laws across the U.S.
- Charlie Kratovil of Empower NJ will speak on the recent environmental rollbacks including the overturning of the Chevron deference.
- Tatiana Castrillon of Planned Parenthood Action Fund of NJ, will address the impact of the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the 20 states which now ban or restrict the procedure.
- Sara Wasserman of The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice will speak on the attack on LGBTQ rights.
- NJ State Sen. Andrew Zwicker will speak on what New Jersey can do to protect ourselves against some of these decisions
