[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

Our current system of capitalism is just slavery by another name. It's a
system that's not working. 

The majority of Americans are unemployed, or underemployed and struggling
to survive. There are 318,000 dead from the pandemic in our country alone,
with deaths disproportionately affecting Black and brown people.

There are Americans who can barely afford to eat, while others have
unspeakable amounts of wealth. Jeff Bezos is the first $200 billionaire —
and in the next six years, he might become the first trillionaire. The
powerful elite continue to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few, and
allow large corporations to pretty much run the world.

Yet top Democratic leaders like President Obama insist that "snappy
slogans" like "defund the police" lose people and are ineffective at
getting things done. But defunding the police — much like cancelling rent
or Medicare for All — aren't slogans. These are actual, immediate policy
needs for millions of working people, especially from Black and brown
communities. 

In less than two weeks, I'll officially be sworn into Congress to fight
for policy needs like these. I'm ready to cause problems for the status
quo and get to work, because I see so many leaders of the Democratic Party
continue to strive for a standard that isn't responsive towards what we
need, or what's happening today in our streets. 

We must listen to the people and challenge one another as we develop and
organize towards long-term solutions for Black and brown communities, for
working class communities, for all communities, not just the white and
wealthy.
