John,
My colleagues in the GOP are threatening to strip funding from New York public schools just for considering providing temporary shelter for migrants.
And when I called out the racist rhetoric they're using, including the white supremacist “great replacement theory,” they cut me off in the middle of a committee meeting — banging the gavel nine times to interrupt me.
John, this is a pattern. Republicans are introducing bills that disproportionately target migrants, Black people, and other minorities. They use language that directly plays into racist conspiracy theories and bigoted tropes. And when Black and brown members of Congress call that out, we get cut off.
But they can't stop me from speaking truth to power, and I'll keep calling out right-wing bigotry in the House of Representatives.
Thank you for your support — it means the world to me.
Peace and love,
Jamaal Bowman
