BACKGROUND:
Trump is racist. Those in the GOP who support Trump, support his racist agenda. This racist agenda needs a strong rebuke.
Trump’s racism is on display throughout his America.
- Families separated at the border, subjected to inhumane conditions, driven to suicide, suffer death on American soil.
- America’s promise for refugees dies as Trump reduces the number of refugees allowed to almost zero.
- Public resources proposed as weapons of hate to turn people out of their homes and deny them healthcare.
- Communities are terrorized by Trump administration ordered raids
- Everyday American’s are subjected to revolting taunts and driven to tears, by the vile racist climate Trump creates.
- Sitting United States Congresswomen are subjected to threats of rape and murder from law enforcement officers.
Our MoCs must stand up to these racist attacks in the strongest way possible. Four of Oregon’s Congressional delegation went to the border to bear witness and many have co-sponsored legislation that combats Trump’s racist agenda.
And now they must take a next step. Our MoCs must – on all public channels and daily – call for an impeachment inquiry over illegal conditions at Trump’s border camps.
Trump’s racism must be rebuked.
