John,

Yesterday, I attended a commemoration for the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre — the single largest act of domestic terrorism in the United States.

The truth is still being told about one of the worst acts of racial violence in our nation’s history, and I’m honored to lift up the stories of the victims and their families who, to this day, are still seeking accountability.

Over $100 million in black-owned property was destroyed — on top of the over 300 Black residents who were murdered and the 10,000 residents who were displaced. Yet victims’ families and their descendants still have not received their due for the pain and suffering they faced that day and the decades afterward.

We can never undo the lasting harm caused by the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921, but the least we can do is help repair the damage. That’s why we need reparations today.

In honor of the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre and their families, I’m renewing the call to pass H.R. 40 and pursue reparations legislation in Congress.

Will you add your name to join me in calling for Congress to pass H.R. 40 immediately so we can begin pursuing reparations for the descendants of slaves and communities like Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma? [[link removed]]

PASS H.R. 40 [[link removed]]

We cannot realize equality and justice for all without first atoning for the historic wrongs that have contributed to systemic racism.

In solidarity,

Barbara Lee
