[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress

If you take
a look at the legislation Republicans are advancing across the country,
you'll notice a disturbing theme:

The GOP has waged an all-out war on diversity, equity, and inclusion. From
Capitol Hill, to state legislatures, and public colleges, they have
focused their efforts on making DEI the “boogeyman” and entrenching
systemic discrimination against marginalized groups.

This full-court press against DEI initiatives looks like:

* Banning books by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors and censoring curriculums in
public schools
* Nixing federal funding for programs that would support the LGBTQ
comunity and other underrepresented communities
* Defunding student groups who pose a threat to Republican politicians
* Taking over school board meetings and elections with the intention to
end critical race theory
* Using harmful rhetoric to undermine the talent, knowledge, skills, and
the training of professionals in every sector where DEI initiatives
exist
* Raising billions of dollars from right-wing extremists to unseat women
of color in Congress
* Seeking to defund the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of
Education, which is essential to confronting the rise in antisemitism
and islamophobia impacting our students

I would love to know, really, what they are so afraid of. What about
diversity, equity, and inclusion are they so threatened by? Culture wars
against DEI are a dangerous political stunt and another step towards white
supremacy. If we don’t fight back, racism, antisemitism, ableism, sexism,
and transphobia will become more rampant and the enablers of this bigotry,
more emboldened.

[ [link removed] ]So alongside Congressman Jamie Raskin, I’ve introduced legislation that
would codify racial equity and ensure the federal government promotes
equal opportunity for everyone in America. If you’re committed to doing
this work alongside me, make a donation to help ensure we have the
resources we need to continue leading on policies that will advance
justice and equity for all.

Look: It is no surprise that the same people complaining about DEI are the
same people who complained about the Me Too movement, about Black Lives
Matter, about the ERA, about the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and so much more.
This is a part of a wider Republican effort to rip away our freedoms. And,
might I add that the opposition is majority, overwhelmingly white and
male.

Republicans’ war on DEI only further proves why these initiatives are so
needed in the first place. America needs DEI to disrupt systems of
oppression that are active in every facet of our society. I’m committed to
keep fighting for equity and justice for all, not just the wealthy and
well-connected. And I hope you’re with me in this fight.

[ [link removed] ]A contribution of any amount would support our work to disrupt systems
of oppression and fend off Republican attacks on our most fundamental
freedoms. Can you chip in?

Yours in service,

Ayanna
