Friend— <[link removed]>

At next week’s Democratic debate, all of the major candidates will be on the same stage for the first time. Now we need to get them all on the same page about confronting white nationalism.  

That’s why Bend the Arc just launched a petition to ABC & Univision, the hosts of next week’s debate. Let’s tell them we need to hear a real conversation about how each candidate will stop the growth of white nationalism and violence against our communities. <[link removed]>

TAKE ACTION <[link removed]>

We can’t address what we’re not talking about. Through the first two debates, not a single candidate was asked about the rise of white nationalism.

Zero questions have been asked about this massive threat to immigrant, Latinx, Black, Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, indigenous, and LGBTQ communities.

It’s unacceptable. We need to hear EVERY presidential candidate forcefully reject white nationalism and share how they plan to defeat it.

Join Bend the Arc, United We Dream, Daily Kos, Greenpeace USA, UltraViolet, and more to demand that the next Democratic primary debate fully addresses the growing threat of white nationalism. <[link removed]>

Many of our communities have been victims of police violence, white supremacist violence, and gun violence since our country’s founding. And the white nationalist violence we see today adds to daily threats on our lives we already face.

White nationalism is a national crisis — and it needs to be addressed on a national stage.

It’s an issue that impacts American voters across the country because it’s putting us in danger, from mass shootings in Pittsburgh, Gilroy, and El Paso to bigoted policies like mass detentions, deportations, and the Muslim Ban. This ideology isn’t on the fringes, it’s in the halls of power.

Since the last debate, we’ve witnessed another horrifying white nationalist attack in El Paso, with the shooter specifically targeting our Latinx and immigrant family — motivated by the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory that immigrants will replace whites.

It’s the same rhetoric that motivated the shooters in Gilroy, Poway, Christchurch, and Pittsburgh.

It’s the same deadly lie that Fox News broadcasts daily and President Trump embraces. 

It’s an ideology that the majority of the American people reject. And we want our next president to commit to stopping white nationalism and fighting for a multiracial democracy where all of us are safe and free.

Tell ABC & Univision: we need every candidate to be asked about the threat of white nationalism. <[link removed]>

Thank you for joining us in this fight.
