Republicans in Congress and across the country rushed to Twitter yesterday to distance themselves from Donald Trump after the president-in-name-only refused to condemn Nazis and white supremacists.
But here’s the thing: Many of these same Republicans have voted for or are working right now to pass legislation that protects white supremacy by keeping marginalized people from accessing their right to vote.
- Cutting early voting hours in majority-black areas, as Indiana and Wisconsin Republicans have
- Gerrymandering congressional and state legislative maps to discriminate against black and Latino voters, as Texas did before its maps were struck down by courts
- Passing voter ID laws and then shutting down DMVs in majority-black areas, as Alabama did
- Purging voters of color from voting rolls, as Kansas, Ohio, and many other states have
Republicans in office today only distance themselves from Trump because he doesn’t hide his racism the way they do when they push bills to disenfranchise people of color by talking up nonexistent “voter fraud.”
The Daily Kos Liberation League is working state-by-state to stop racist bills like these from becoming law. Can you chip in $5 now to help us keep fighting?
Last summer, I and a small group of Daily Kos’ smartest and most talented organizers and writers came together launch the Daily Kos Liberation League.
We promote stories that highlight intersections across identities, drive a progressive racial justice narrative and uplift marginalized voices. We aim to build consciousness, challenge the status quo and develop informed racial justice leaders and co-conspirators within the DK community. And we work with more than one million activists who’ve subscribed to our DKLL email list to take direct action in states and communities across the country.
Our work is more important than ever, so please chip in $5 now.
Keep fighting,
Monique Teal, Daily Kos
