[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

The Supreme Court has taken us backwards by barring colleges from using
race-conscious affirmative action in admissions.

This is an attack on equality for Black and brown people in America.
Affirmative action is a way to make sure that we have an equitable shot at
higher education to pursue advancement. And let's not forget that we ALL
benefit from diversity in our schools.

As an educator, I've seen how our education system is plagued with
inequities. I've seen how things like standardized testing in high schools
and legacy admissions in colleges favor the already fortunate. Affirmative
action is essential to racial and economic justice in education, and with
this ruling, the Supreme Court has set our country backward.

We must commit to fighting back. That means canceling student debt — even
if the Supreme Court makes it difficult. That means ensuring everyone has
access to free public college. That means investing in our public schools.
And that means passing my Fair College Admissions for Students Act, which
would end legacy and donor-based admissions that favor the white and the
wealthy.

Representatives. To keep our community heard in Washington, will you chip
in right now so I can stay in the fight?

Together, we can achieve equity in our education, from preschool to
college to vocational school and beyond. Our democracy depends on it.

Peace and love,

Jamaal Bowman
