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.
D.C., for many Federal programs and initiatives, is treated like a territory, which denies the residents of the District of Columbia, including its black residents, equal treatment and therefore equal representation.
We`re in a state of emergency when it comes to democracy in this country, as well as policing, and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. And I think the American people want to see dramatic action on both of these issues.
