This year’s Black History Month unfortunately begins after another young Black man was brutally killed at the hands of the police
John,
This year’s Black History Month unfortunately begins after another young Black man was brutally killed at the hands of the police. Tyre Nichols’ family and the entire Memphis community deserve a full, transparent investigation and severe consequences for the perpetrators.
It’s important to meet this moment with more than just words. I’ll keep using what power I have in Congress to push forward policies that not only reform police departments, but uplift Black communities.
I also want to provide you with an opportunity to make an immediate difference. Consider making a donation to support 100 Black Men of America, an organization dedicated to expanding opportunities for Black men across the country.

I joined the 100 Black Men chapter of Orange County on Martin Luther King Day to help package food for families in need. Alongside other Orange County volunteers, they boxed food for nearly 10,000 community members.
Chapters of 100 Black Men of America deliver unique programs that address specific needs in local communities. Their goal is to show mentees their potential by stressing the importance of education and providing them the tools they need to be leaders—whether that’s a college scholarship or access to healthcare. Mentees also do meaningful volunteer work, supporting families and whole communities.
Thanks for considering supporting this important work.
