Earlier this month, Ayanna and Congressman Hank Johnson led the Congressional Black Caucus in calling on Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to condemn discriminatory traffic enforcement and develop reforms to reduce racial inequities in traffic stops.
Generations of Black people have been unjustly subjected to discriminatory traffic stops, and we need your voice to urge the Department of Transportation to help end the status quo of inequitable enforcement.
Driving while Black is not a crime. Will you sign on right now to add your name to call on Secretary Buttigieg to address racial disparities in traffic stops?
Ayanna's letter to Secretary Buttigieg highlighted the disparate harm traffic enforcement has on Black motorists, who are overrepresented in traffic violations — despite lower rates of vehicle ownership. This status quo is the product of racist policies, outdated infrastructure, and limited oversight — and it's time for reform.
Thank you so much for taking action,
The A-Team
