[1]Bowman for Congress

John, I have some good news to
share:

I’m proud to share that our African American History Act legislation has a
home in the U.S. Senate — with Senator Cory Booker, who has stepped up to
introduce this bill in the Senate.

I couldn't be more excited to be in partnership with Sen. Booker, and to
be the lead on this legislation in the House of Representatives. [ [link removed] ]If

the African American History Act and to #TellTheTruth about our nation’s
history? Over 50,000 folks have added their names — join us.

Now more than ever, we must push for more investments in our history
education. Because the truth is,
John — harmful ideologies still exist and
manifest in our education systems.

In fact, just last week — here in New York, in our district — there was a
public display of hateful, racist, and anti-Semitic rhetoric during a
school board meeting. A handful of people tried to take us several steps
back into a world where people of color, especially Black students, had to
live in fear and experience harassment simply for seeking an education.

As not only a former teacher and principal with over 20 years of
experience, but a Black father to three children, it pains me to see a
situation like this — especially in our schools, which are places that are
supposed to serve as a safe haven for our kids.

We must prioritize protecting, loving, and above all educating our kids.
Because when division is sown and hate is spewed, the people who end up
losing the most are our kids. We must be united in our love and commitment
to our children and their education.

We must come together to uproot this hatred and show that we refuse to
regress as a society. That’s why I’m so passionate about legislation like
the African American History Act, and why I’m so happy to have the support
of Sen. Booker in the Senate.

[ [link removed] ]Now, I hope you’ll join us in spreading this message, and encourage our
educators and lawmakers to #TellTheTruth. Please, add your name to our
petition today. Thank you.

Peace and love,

Jamaal Bowman
