[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

Today is Juneteenth, a historic day that allows us the space to reflect,
celebrate, and process the anniversary of the end of slavery. All across
the country, Black communities are coming together to celebrate our
culture, our history, and our victories. 

This Juneteenth is especially historic, because it is the first year
Juneteenth is celebrated as a federal holiday. Yet in the wake of this
historic day, in more than 30 cities across the country, thousands of
teachers and educators organized to protest against new laws that limit
discussion around racism and slavery in the United States. 

These laws have emerged in places like Texas, Louisiana, New Hampshire,
and North Carolina after the murder of George Floyd in Minnesota. When
teachers began teaching lessons about systemic racism, schools and
lawmakers started to ban these lessons, and banned even broader lessons
about marginalized groups and equity. 

Our symbolic victory of today is clearly not enough when we have so many
people fighting to keep the status quo intact.

the  status quo and dismantle the pillars of racism and injustice that
continue to wreak havoc on our nation. If you're with me in this fight,
please make a contribution to our movement today so that I can continue
this necessary work in Congress.

Even when we take one step forward towards rebuilding and re-envision our
country for the better, we have conservative lawmakers and interest groups
setting us five steps back.

As an educator, I know far too well the duty our teachers, counselors, and
staff have to shape the minds and hearts of our students so that they grow
into well-rounded advocates for justice and equality. 

It should not be the job of an educator to lie to our students about our
country's history — regardless of the pitiful laws created to force them
to. That's why I'm not only dedicating my time in Congress to bring long
overdue symbolic change, but also for concrete and tangible progress for
racial equality in our country.

and education — please help strengthen this movement by making a
contribution today. Your support will help me fight for the causes and
issues that really matter to our communities.

Peace and love,

Jamaal Bowman
