Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representatives Ayanna Pressley and Barbara Lee just introduced a bill to officially declare racism a public health crisis.
The legislation would allow the Centers for Disease Control to research racial health disparities and propose antiracist policies. And we just have to say...
...It’s about damn time.
Look, it’s no secret that America’s past is rooted in white supremacy and patriarchal standards.
And as progressives, we’re more than aware of the injustice our Black and Brown neighbors experience everyday.
That’s why we’re organizing a grassroots campaign to collect 10,000 signatures from progressives like you in support of this bill.
Will you sign on to become a citizen co-sponsor of the Anti-Racism in Public Health Act of 2020?
Rep. Pressley is absolutely right.
The past several months have reignited decades and decades of hurt, injustice, and inequity -- and this is our chance to make a difference, and to make things right.
But Trump is only making matters worse.
So, we want Elizabeth, Ayanna, and Barbara to know -- we’re standing with them. Will you sign your name to show your support?
In solidarity,
-- The Progressive List
