John,
We at Women's March are renewing our calls, louder than ever, to protect Black lives and reform the systems that continue to put Black lives at risk.
That means rooting out white supremacy wherever we see it. The murder of Daunte Wright at the hands of law enforcement is a painful reminder that Black lives will continue to be in danger until we dismantle white supremacy at every level, from the local level, all the way up to Congress.
In the past decade, we've seen a startling and dangerous rise in hate crimes, white supremacists running for — and winning— elected office, and Republicans openly opposing policies that would lift up Black lives.
It’s clear that passing real change starts with removing white supremacists from Congress like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Lauren Boebert.
Investing in protecting Black lives is a feminist issue. And rooting out white supremacy in our government is a crucial step in advancing our cause for racial justice.
By putting resources in education, health care, child care, and decarceration – not into a violent and deadly police system – we can support women and families and begin to address systemic inequalities and the legacy of racism.
That’s why Women’s March is setting these goals so we can bring real change to our communities:
❌ Removing white supremacist seditionists like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Lauren Boebert
❌ Advocating for pandemic relief that centers and uplifts Black and Brown women and essential workers
❌ Supporting visionary legislative solutions like the BREATHE Act
❌ Combating white supremacy, right-wing nationalism, and violent extremism and disinformation online through our Digital Defenders program and other innovative collaborations
As we’ve witnessed this past year, seeking justice and reform is not a straightforward path. We are up against big, heavily-funded political forces that are fighting to promote a racist, pro-police agenda.
If we want to remove white supremacists like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Lauren Boebert from Congress we need to prepare EARLY and organize BIG over these next few months.
Keep fighting,
Women’s March
P.S. Together, Women's March is taking a wide-reaching, comprehensive approach to urgently defeating white supremacy: We're training and educating women on how to fight for change in their towns and communities, as well as organizing to root out white supremacist seditionists at the highest levels of government. We can't do this important work without your support, John, so please contribute what you can.
