Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen the consequences of Donald Trump’s anti-Black, anti-immigrant attacks firsthand in Springfield — from bomb threats to Proud Boys’ marches to the distribution of flyers by the Ku Klux Klan. Enough is enough. We must directly confront those who sow division and endanger our communities, especially people in positions of power. As the op-ed makes clear: "It is past time that we turn the page. We as a country must prioritize confronting anti-Blackness in our immigration system and reject the tired Birth of a Nation political playbook of stoking fear using immigrants of color as scapegoats. Our collective future depends on it.”
