Racial Justice

Every day that I serve in Congress in Washington, D.C., I walk through our Capitol, which serves as a symbol of freedom and democracy at home and around the world. But I’m also struck by the fact that it is a building built by enslaved people and is still filled with numerous statues commemorating Confederate leaders. As we reckon with that past, we must find ways to pursue justice every day here in the present. It is my responsibility to listen and help build a future where American policy reflects the fundamental truth that Black lives matter.
