John — the Supreme Court's decision to end affirmative action is a major blow to our fight for racial equity in America. Add your name next to mine now to DENOUNCE the Court's harmful ruling →

Let me make one thing clear: This ruling is based upon false and racist notions that we have progressed into a "colorblind" society. Conservatives want us to believe centuries of disenfranchisement no longer have an impact. But the American people know better.

According to a May poll by the Associated Press, “[s]ixty-three percent of adults polled, across racial and political lines, said the Supreme Court shouldn’t block colleges from taking applicants’ race and ethnicity into account in the admission process.”

But once again, right-wing extremists and their puppet judges have proven they are on the wrong side of history. If, like me, you know affirmative action programs are beneficial and necessary in the work to build a truly equitable society, please add your name now denouncing this ruling.

Affirmative action programs have been instrumental for decades in reversing centuries of racial discrimination in higher education. Now, it will be that much harder for students from disadvantaged communities to receive the education they deserve.

The conservative Supreme Court will continue to make decisions that undermine our ability to progress and restrict our rights as Americans — unless we take action. I hope you'll join me in denouncing this ruling right now.

Together, I know we can retake the House majority, hold onto the presidency, and appoint justices who will stop the destruction of our rights.

In solidarity,

Dwight
