John,

Americans in all 50 states and millions of people around the world are marching to protest racism and police violence directed at people of color. It’s incredible to see so many folks marching in solidarity and fighting for a better future.

Yet across our country, Confederate statues and monuments still pay tribute to white supremacy and slavery in public spaces.

It is time to tell the truth about what these statues are: Hateful symbols that have no place in our society and certainly should not be enshrined in the U.S. Capitol.

That’s why I’m proud to introduce the Confederate Monument Removal Act to remove all Confederate statues from the U.S. Capitol.

I’m calling on everyone reading this message to sign my petition and demand the House pass my bill immediately. If we want to move our country forward, we must acknowledge the wrongs of our past and vow never to make them again. [[link removed]]

I originally introduced this bill in 2017 after the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. Now more than ever, it’s clear Congress must pass my legislation and remove these hateful symbols from our nation’s capital.

Thank you for doing your part to move this bill along and ensure it becomes law.

In solidarity,

Barbara Lee
