[1]Blue America Project
Team,
Every Black History Month we celebrate the achievements and contributions
of Black leaders — from Martin Luther King to Harriet Tubman, Shirley
Chisholm to Vice President Kamala Harris.
But this month, it’s critical that we honor their legacies in a different
way — continuing the fight to uplift and empower the Black community.
Senators Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and John Kennedy, just to name a few, are
more focused on keeping their seats in 2022 than doing their jobs. It’s
politics over accountability. Party over country. Trump over unity.
Last year, in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, the Black Lives Matter
movement shined the light on police brutality and the systemic injustices
the Black community faces. We witnessed the Trump administration support
white supremacists as Black working people and families bore the brunt of
the pandemic and a crumbling economy.
And we saw the Republican party (once again) fight to disenfranchise
millions of Black voters.
Here’s the bottom line — Black History Month can never be the same. We
can’t stand on the sidelines any longer. This month we ask that you
commemorate BHM by supporting Black-owned businesses, donate to charities
that support anti-racism, equity, and equality — such as the [ [link removed] ]Black
Youth Project and [ [link removed] ]Loveland Therapy Fund — and find ways to get involved
in your community.
[ [link removed] ]Black History Month. We will never stop fighting.
With your support, we will treat every month as Black History Month until
the day comes where racial injustice is no more. Let’s do this.
