John —

This Black History Month, let’s celebrate the progress we’ve made and recommit to our fight to build a country where every Black person can achieve their greatest potential.

We’ve made a lot of Black history this past year. In November, our movement elected me as one of the first two Black, openly gay members of Congress, and we elected America’s first Black Vice President, Kamala Harris. In January, Georgia elected Raphael Warnock, its first Black U.S. Senator — a remarkable feat in a state where Republican officials continuously seek to disenfranchise Black voters.

Still, it has been a particularly difficult year to be Black in America. We’ve had far too many promising Black lives taken from us. A year ago, Ahmaud Arbery was hunted down and murdered by racists while out on a jog. Two weeks from this Saturday will mark one year since Breonna Taylor was shot and killed by police inside her own home, and due to systemic racism, Black Americans have died from COVID-19 at a rate nearly twice as high as white Americans.

Let us also acknowledge the unique challenges Black members of the LGBTQ+ community experience. In particular, Black trans women are killed at seven times the rate of the general American population.

Meanwhile, ICE has been defying President Biden’s 100-day moratorium and unlawfully deporting Black asylum-seekers and immigrants, oftentimes to countries they’ve never been.

In honor of all of the Black lives taken too soon, and all of the Black Americans struggling right now in the face of compounding crises, we fight on to uproot systemic racism in America and enact policies that affirm the value, dignity, and freedom of Black lives.

I am grateful to have your continued support in this fight. The power of representation is not lost on me – not only for the example I set, but for the perspective and lived experiences I bring to decision-making tables.

Now I’m ready to pull up more chairs to the table.

Black Lives Matter.

Onward,
Mondaire
