“And still we
rise.” -- Maya Angelou
The Sexual Predator on Pennsylvania Avenue in
his recent vicious attacks on “The Squad”: Ilhan Omar, Ayana Pressley, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib, told these women of color to “go back to
their crime-infested” countries. All of these women are American citizens. All
of these women are proud of their heritage and work for their respective
communities. All of these women are being attacked because they fight for the
working class, challenge white supremacy, and patriarchy because they are
women. They dare to be women who have political conviction around their support
of Palestine, their support of Venezuela, and their denunciation of border
camps.
We call on all women and their
communities to join us in solidarity with “The Squad” by signing this letter,
asking others to sign this letter, and joining us on August 28th (the
anniversary of the murder of Emmitt Till and in honor of his courageous mother,
Mamie Till.) These women who are Somali, Black American, Puerto Rican, Arab,
Muslim, and non-Muslim women have fought together for the interests of all
communities: workers, women, Latinx, Black, Muslim, LGBTQ, straight, and
immigrants against the rich and powerful. If we allow any one of our
communities’ human rights to get picked off and pitted against each other, we
will all lose. An injury to one is an injury to all!
Trump has tried to erase their legal status as U.S. citizens and tries to make them “the Other.” As we have seen with racist U.S. policy “The Other” dies in prisons. “The Other” suffers in cages. “The Other” is shot down in the street. “The Other” dies face down drowned in raging rivers seeking the asylum that the Statue of Liberty promised.
But
it goes deeper than that. The economic system of the United States and the
fascist policies that maintain it were built into how the black population has
been controlled and contained from the inception of the U.S. in order to
guarantee the labor of African people from slavery in the 1700s to Jim
Crow, during the 1960s, and through today. During slavery, Black women were
forced to re-produce the labor force. This is the foundation of this country.
Trump is attacking women like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna
Pressley and Rashida Tlaib because they dare to question and fight against
America’s unjust economic past and present.
Trump
also attacks reporters and undermines a free press. It is dangerous when one
man wants the public to believe that he is the only person to be trusted. This
is a hallmark of fascism. Blaming “the Other” as the cause of low wages,
unemployment, high rent, high utility bills, high deductibles is what Mussolini
and Hitler in WWII and is what Trump is doing now. Blaming “The Other” is what
fascism does.
We
stand with them in solidarity and show our collective outrage by
signing this letter, asking others to sign this letter, and joining us. If you want to include your signature (individual or on behalf of your organization) then please contact Shafeah M'Balia at jazznjustice@gmail.com.
