On the day after the 62nd anniversary of Rosa Parks’ brave stand against the injustice of her time, let us come together as a nation to state unequivocally… This resurgent rise of publically unimpinged racism and white supremacy will not stand.
We will not stand for leaders in Congress that fail to challenge President Trump when he ‘winks and nods’ to a racist base of support. We will not stand for leaders that would cynically sacrifice the good of the country, the safety of its people, for the sake of a legislative agenda that they would like to pin on the President before he is defeated electorally in 2020.
We will not stand idly while our brothers and sisters are condemned to a new age of fear and trepidation that the nation they owe their allegiance to will not ensure their ability to walk freely without expectation of persecution or the threat of violence.
We will not stand for the lingering (and in some ways, expanding) institutional injustice that has and continues to pervade every corner of the American life.
All of this nation’s greatest accomplishments have been the (often only partial) rectification of the sins of our history. It is time for us to go the whole way.
I ask you to stand with me, with the majority of this nation, against the tyranny and terror of institutional racism…once and for all.
