PHILADELPHIA, PA — Last week, Stand Up America swung for the fences with a bold message aimed at baseball fans in Milwaukee and Philadelphia. As Brewers and Phillies fans headed to the ballpark, they were greeted by billboards featuring Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch, with the message: “Don’t Let Trump Rig the Game. Be a Supreme Court Voter.” The billboards directed fans to courtvoter.com to learn more about the stakes of the 2024 election for the Supreme Court and how they can make an impact by voting with the future of the Supreme Court in mind.

Stand Up America’s Managing Director of Digital Campaigns, Joe Hines, issued the following statement about the effort:

“While the Brewers may be out, the Phillies are still in the game—just like the fight for the future of the Supreme Court. Trump’s already stacked the court with three ultra-conservative justices, and with four justices in their 70s come 2025, he could get another shot to permanently rig the rules of the game against us.

“This isn’t just about one election, it’s about our fundamental freedoms for decades to come—abortion access, voting rights, gun safety, and more. We hope that voters in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania will step up to the plate and help defeat Trump.”

Since 2021, Stand Up America has been a leading group advocating for Supreme Court reform. Stand Up America conducted a national poll earlier this year, which found that an overwhelming majority of voters want Congress to enact 18-year term limits for current and future justices. Stand Up America’s members have driven over 900,000 constituent calls and emails to Congress in support of Supreme Court reform legislation, including term limits for current and future justices and a binding code of ethics. In June, Stand Up America launched a Supreme Court Voter campaign, a seven-figure digital campaign aimed at educating and mobilizing voters around the stakes of the Supreme Court for this election.
