Hi there,
For years, Republicans set the stage for the racist mob's attack on the Capitol on January 6 -- and even Trump's departure won't fix the problem of white supremacy.
Despite electing the most diverse Congress in our nation's history and electing the first Black and Asian vice president, we are not suddenly free of our country's legacy of racism. The Washington Post stated this:
“This is not ‘un-American' or alien to who we are -- it is the fruit of everything we have ignored since Reconstruction was overthrown in South Carolina in 1876.... We cannot assume that this failed putsch will be the end of the violent attempt to replace democracy -- once again -- with white power. And we cannot support them with our silence.”
We MUST move forward to a future that prioritizes communities that have been neglected for decades -- and we're confident that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will lead this charge along with our Democratic Congress.
But even with Biden in the White House, the threat of white supremacist violence looms, especially after Trump incited the riot at the Capitol. As these critical conversations continue, we need to hear from you:
Do you condemn white supremacist violence?
Thank you for being part of the fight,
ASPIRE
