The failure to provide Federal voting rights, voting rights for a Member of Congress and two U.S. Senators, for the 51st State, disproportionately impacts a large number of African American citizens of the United States.

We note the attacks on this progress. They come in the form of voter suppression – voter purges, attacks on democracy, attacks on equal opportunity in DE&I, banning of books, attacks to try to thwart this progress.

When we look at what is happening in this nation, we see an effort to impose a system of American apartheid.
