It’s been reported that the Biden Administration is considering Rahm
Emanuel for a cabinet position -- even though he actively participated in
the coverup of the police murder of Laquan McDonald. That is completely
outrageous and, honestly, very hurtful.

I believe the Biden Administration is sincerely committed to dismantling
systemic racism. Giving Rahm Emanuel a cabinet position would threaten
that vital work. [ [link removed] ]If you agree, please sign our petition.

Rahm Emanuel’s active participation in the coverup of Laquan McDonald’s
murder is disqualifying on its own, yet he did far more to harm Black and
brown communities during his time as Mayor.

In his first year, he closed more than half of Chicago's public mental
health clinics. Those clinics disproportionately served Black clients, and
their closure caused a spike in mental health crises leading to
psychiatric hospitalizations.

In 2013, he closed 50 public schools — the largest school closure in
United States history -- most of which were in Black neighborhoods.

And in his last stint in the federal government serving in President
Obama’s Administration, Rahm tried to weaken the Affordable Care Act.

His actions were unacceptable then, and they’re even more unacceptable now
in the Democratic Party of 2020.

where you stand: Rahm Emanuel should have no place in a Biden cabinet --
or anywhere in the Administration, period.

Thank you for standing with us. Defeating Trump was a huge victory for our
movement, but our work is not over.

Onward,

-- Mondaire Jones, New York's 17th Congressional District
