  Supreme Court Watch

  Following an impressive performance at her Senate confirmation hearing, the Senate should act swiftly to confirm Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. When she is confirmed, three women will sit on the Court for the first time in United States history. Kagan demonstrated a masterful command of the Constitution and a razor-sharp intellect. Her statements make clear that she understands the important role the Court plays in ensuring that all Americans are able to obtain justice. » Download AFJ's Report on Elena Kagan's Testimony (pdf)» Download AFJ's Final Report on Elena Kagan (pdf)» Read other reports on Elena Kagan at Supreme Court Watch

  Citizens United: What Now?

  In January 2010, the Supreme Court issued a controversial, 5-4 opinion in Citizens United v. FEC, a case that will greatly impact nonprofit advocacy activities.

  While much of the focus has been about increased spending by for-profit corporations, these changes also apply to issue-based organizations that promote the social good. More than ever, nonprofit corporations can and should actively participate in elections. Even if you think the case was wrongly decided, 501(c)(4)s and other nonprofit corporations (except for 501(c)(3)s) should take advantage of it—use it to strengthen democracy by increasing your public communications about the candidates and what's best for the future of our country. lliance for Justice is committed to providing nonprofits with the information needed to navigate this new legal landscape. Check out our resources…more will be coming soon.
