For decades, affirmative action has been a critical tool for confronting
the deep and lasting legacy of anti-Black racism and discrimination that’s
still all too present in our higher education system.

And today’s damning decision by the far-right Supreme Court, to overturn
decades of legal precedent and ban race-conscious admissions, will only
exacerbate the institutional oppression that has barred Black, brown, and
other marginalized students from equitable educational opportunities for
generations.

This is just the latest white supremacist assault on equity and access in
education — and we can’t back down in this fight.

Universities must affirm their commitment to racial and ethnic diversity,
and we must commit to legislating justice and healing, at all levels of
government, to address the deep racial disparities in educational access,
and the hurt and harm they continue to cause.

With this extreme Supreme Court demonstrating time and again its contempt
for the people, we must take action.

Abolish the filibuster. Pass a Supreme Court code of ethics. Expand the
Court to rebuild its integrity and bring balance to the bench.

Our democracy and our lives depend on it and together, we will fight back.

In solidarity,

Ayanna
