Since the nation's founding, the fabric of American society has been woven with deeply racist policies, practices, and attitudes that harm Black and Indigenous people of color. These policies have led to an unequal system where white people have both implicit and explicit advantages because of the color of their skin, leading to better opportunities in jobs, education, and housing.   This is the legacy of systemic racism in America. And we must end it. Are you with us? Take the pledge today.   The long-standing damage caused by systemic injustice is unmistakable, as Black Americans endure violence and death at the hands of the state, while disproportionately bearing the economic, financial, and community burdens of COVID-19. It's time for a new racial justice agenda.   The ACLU's Systemic Equality agenda includes specific policy asks that will advance societal equity for and empower the civic participation of Black and Indigenous people of color, close the racial wealth gap, and seek reconciliation for our racist past. This includes:   Advancing fair and affordable housing Student loan debt cancellation Passing legislation on reparations Protecting and expanding voting rights Expanding access to broadband Expanding access to financial services through postal banking Establishing a permanent child tax credit     Will you join the ACLU and call on the Biden administration and Congress to advance societal equity, close the racial wealth gap, and seek reconciliation for our nation's racist past?   Thank you for taking action,   The ACLU Team Donate Subscribe Mother Jones and its nonprofit publisher, the Foundation for National Progress, do not endorse any political candidate, political organization, commercial product, process, or service, and the views expressed in this communication do not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by Mother Jones.
