[1]Bowman for Congress
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
John!
Today I wanted to take a moment to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King
as one of the Founding Fathers of America.
Throughout my life and career, I've often referred to Dr. King's teachings
and lessons to guide my leadership. His legacy left our country with the
blueprint to make impactful changes to our society that benefits us all.
As we work our way into 2023, we have the opportunity to make momentous
changes for our movement. But much like the past, our nation's progress
continues to be paused by leaders whose priorities actively go against
those of the people — their own constituents. Their efforts to block our
change and prioritize profits over people only further support an unjust
and racist status quo that disproportionately impacts Black, brown, and
poor folks.
I've said it before and I'll say it again — today, and every day moving
forward, we must reaffirm our commitment to rebuilding our communities
after decades of injustice, brutality, and stagnant leadership. And we
have a strong framework of honorable leadership and compassion from Dr.
King that we can use to continue moving forward.
But it's crucial that we continue prioritizing and investing in policies
that are key in improving the lives of working people. From jobs and
education, to decarceration and community support — we have the tools, the
people-power, and the vision to make change happen.
We're paving the way for a new generation of grassroots leaders to take
the helm and build a stronger, more inclusive democracy that is rooted in
love the same way that Dr. King fought for our future today. And I am so
honored to have you in this fight with me today.
Peace and love,
Jamaal Bowman
