Folks,
Tomorrow is Juneteenth, a day for our country to celebrate the end of slavery and recommit to rooting out the vestiges of institutionalized racism and discrimination.
At a time when we need to be doing a lot more to close the racial wealth gap and secure equal opportunity for all – the Trump administration is taking us in the complete opposite direction.
But in Virginia this year, we have the chance to prove Trump’s chaotic, hateful agenda is wrong for our Commonwealth and wrong for our country – that starts with supporting and expanding the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus: will you pitch in $5, $10, or anything you can to help us raise $10,000 for the VLBC before midnight tomorrow?
Here’s why it’s so crucial we do:
Trump has spent the past 150 days attacking education, firing highly qualified public servants in departments across the federal government, and trying to strike down civil rights, all in the name of "dismantling Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion."
He’s using DEI as a smokescreen to advance his agenda.
Just look at what he’s done: he signed an executive order to target funding for programs at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. He signed an order repealing provisions of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act, unraveling protections against discrimination. He even removed Jackie Robinson’s Army career from the Defense Department’s website.
I could go on and on. But the truth is, Trump’s moves are just politically motivated purges of qualified federal workers and essential programs.
That’s why now more than ever, we need to make sure we’re supporting strong candidates in Virginia who are fighting with me to rein in Trump’s harmful agenda.
So please, if you can, will you join me in honoring Juneteenth with a donation to the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus and help us reach our $10,000 goal before midnight tomorrow? 100% of your donation will go towards the VLBC.
