Neil Gorsuch's nomination is a top concern for tens of millions of Americans, said Ilyse Hogue, the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, which is leading the anti-Gorsuch coalition. After the opening of the hearings today, Senate Democrats should be clear that those Americans are depending on them to not just oppose Neil Gorsuch and the danger he poses, but to filibuster his nomination. <\/p>\n
Other progressive groups involved in the campaign include Indivisible, American Federation of Teachers, Center for American Progress Action Fund, CREDO Action, End Citizens United, EveryVoice, MoveOn.org Civic Action, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Service Employees International Union and Stand Up America.

The first of Gorsuch's two days of questioning in the Senate Judiciary Committee starts at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n
