Yesterday, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke sent out an email to her
top supporters reflecting on the Tulsa massacre and the progress
she hopes to achieve as we continue the fight for racial
justice.

From advocating for equitable broadband access across Brooklyn
to advocating for sweeping reforms like removing the
progress-squashing filibuster in the Senate, Yvette is time and
again at the forefront of the fight for justice in America and
New York.

Take a moment to read her note below, but first, make sure you
donate towards Yvette’s end-of-month fundraising goal! We’re
sending an update to Yvette this evening, and we hope to see your
name in the mix, folks.

Subject: Remembering our history

Monday will mark the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa
massacre that left more than 300 Black Americans dead, more than
10,000 members of that community homeless, and crippled Black
Wall Street and this thriving economic center.

The extent to the lasting damage this mob of white
supremacists wrought on this community is just now coming to
light, and highlighting the work ahead of us as we undo hundreds
of years of inequality and injustices.

The survivors of the Tulsa massacre never saw any
reparations or those who perpetrated what historians call the
single worst outburst of racist violence in American history come
to justice.

Today, we continue to grapple with the threat of white
supremacy and address the intersectional issues of race, class,
and gender. From the GOP attempts to deny the violence that
happened at the Capitol on January 6th to the ongoing fights for
police reform, environmental justice, and economic justice, we
still see echoes of the same systemic racism that decimated
Tulsa.

We must commemorate this powerful forgotten history by
continuing to fight for justice, especially during this
unprecedented time in which we’re putting our city and our
country back together after a year of grappling with the COVID-19
pandemic.

Join me as I continue to lead the fight for justice as we
endeavour to not just go “back to normal,” but create a more
equitable future for all Americans, particularly the communities
most affected by the pandemic.

Donate whatever you can so I can keep up this fight. My
team set a goal of raising $1,500 before the end of the month —
can I count on you to chip in, folks?

Yvette Clarke
