Did you see our message from last week,
John? It's pretty important, so
we've forwarded it below in case you missed it.
Here's the bottom line: passing HR 40 — a bill to establish a commission
to study and develop reparation proposals for Black Americans — is a
critical step we must take now. Not during the midterms, but now.

John,
We need to talk about reparations in 2021 the same way we did in 2020 — we
can't afford to wait for the midterms.
For too long, Black voters have been moved to vote on issues that matter
most to them. But when it comes time to pass these policies, their
representatives give excuse after excuse as to why it's not possible. And
this has become especially true when it comes time to pass HR 40 — a bill
to establish a commission to study and develop reparation proposals for
Black Americans.
[ [link removed] ]For three decades, HR 40 has been stalled by our elected officials. But
the power of our progressive coalition has grown exponentially and now
it's time to call on our representatives to bring HR 40 to a
vote. John,
will you commit to the fight for
reparations with Jamaal and add your name in support of bringing HR 40 to
a vote?

In the wake of the ever growing debate over Critical Race Theory, the vote
to pass HR 40 and finally address the fundamental injustice, cruelty,
brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States is critical.
As one of the few Black, progressive voices in Congress, Jamaal's mission
is to bring true representation and clear solutions and policies that
finally address the crises we face. It's past time for our country to
recognize the intergenerational traumas that were caused by slavery and
recommit to true equity, reparations, and justice for all.
If we are to truly recommit ourselves to building a society that uplifts,
empowers, and supports our Black communities, we need purposeful, true
reparations for the racial and economic discrimination that has taken
place against African-Americans for far too long. And we need to address
the impact of these forces on the Black community and work together to
make recommendations to Congress on appropriate remedies to these
injustices.
Passing HR 40 is a crucial step toward finally rebuilding our country but
it's going to take all of our progressive coalition's power to get there.

our country forward together.
Onward together,
Bowman for Congress
