John,

On May 14, an 18-year-old gunman viciously took the lives of 10 Americans
and injured three more. 11 of the 13 victims were Black Americans.

This act of terror was inspired and initiated by a white supremacist
conspiracy called the “Great Replacement Theory”— a deeply harmful
ideology that describes a false plot where non-white immigrants are
entering America to disempower and subjugate white people. It is a tool
used to justify islamophobia, xenophobia, and mass murder.

John, we can no
longer wait for Congress to take action. That’s why this week I introduced
House Resolution 1152 to clearly address the tragedy in Buffalo, NY,
implement a national day of remembrance, and urge the whole of Congress to
be diligent in combating white supremacy. I’m proud to say it passed with
218 votes.

The Buffalo shooting was one of the worst racially motivated massacres in
New York’s history. I can remember sobbing in my car, terrified of taking
my children to school as I thought about what could possibly happen to
them. I just couldn’t bear it — and that’s why this work is so deeply
personal and important to me and millions of Americans across the country.

House Resolution 1152 is not just a one-off action. It’s about continuing
to look at where white nationalism lives and breathes in our democracy and
our law enforcement.

We often believe that Republican rhetoric is so outrageous that American
people aren’t going to be influenced by it. Yet, the Great Replacement
Theory has been highlighted hundreds of times by conservative news sources
and has been invoked by mass shooters at the Tree of Life synagogue in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2018, in El Paso, Texas in 2019, and by the
Christchurch shooter in New Zealand, in 2019.

If this rhetoric radicalizes just one person to commit mass murder, then
we have failed as a Democratic Party, and irreversible damage has already
been done. We need to do everything in our power to push back against it.

John, the
swift passage of this resolution is but the first of many steps in our
fight to rid our nation and our democracy of white supremacy once and for
all. [ [link removed] ]Add your name today in support of our resolution to fight back
against racist rhetoric and work to build a safe, unified, and
multi-racial democracy and community that we deserve.

Peace and love,

Jamaal Bowman
