Black women go down on the Capitol to “save democracy” in front of Maga Trump’s program

The coalition of leaders and activists of black women descended on the Capitol to gather against the Trump administration and a number of actions of the Republican Party, which include budget cuts, the elimination of critical departments and programs, and shooting 1000’s of federal employees.

A gaggle of black women’s leaders from throughout the country-the US Senators, Lisa Blunt Rochester and Angel Alsobrooks-Zgromita, told the newly elected black women in front of the Capitol constructing on Thursday morning before meeting with the members of the Congress to encourage them to make a position in actions that can disproportionate black communities.

While many leaders and organizers of black women explained that they might take a break from political commitment after their efforts failed in the 2024 election, which caused the defeat of the former Vice President of Kamali Harris by President Donald Trump, they are saying they’re ready to return to the fight for “salvation of democracy.”

Campbell and a number of other other leaders of black women, including young black women in highschool and college, condemned the bill on further resolving by Republicans in the House of Representatives and can soon see a voice in the US Senate. The bill that avoided closing the federal government and finance it until September 30 includes cuts value billions of dollars. A gaggle of activists also called on the Trump administration movements to break up diversity, equality and integration, almost eliminate the Education Department and the United States International Development Agency (USAID) – which provides critical funds for non -profit organizations – and withdraw the protection of civil rights and environmental protection.

“There are serious cuts and reduced budgets for Medicaid. At the same time, we know that black women are dying in three, four times than our white counterparts, “said Senator Blunt Rochester, who became the first black woman chosen to the Senate from the state of Delaware. “Just today I heard an advertisement about withdrawals to the principles of clean drinking water, clean air … These are the basic things.”

Despite the horrors that many communities say that they are going to face the indisputable fact that America Great Again Again Again, to drastically reduce the federal government, Blunt Rochester said: “No weapon that is against us will prosper!”

Senator Alsobrooks, who also created history as the first black woman of the US Senator in Maryland, punished Republicans for saying American public opinion, that they might focus on “alleviating economic loads and helping Americans to reach the front.” Instead, she said: “They are active, but they are not busy doing what they promised … They are busy doing the opposite.”

Alsobrooks explained: “Instead of increasing programs for preventing poverty, he offers significant cuts for SNAP (nutrition assistance program). Instead of investing in people and draw prizes, it aims to reduce Pell subsidies that would block thousands of people, including black women and black men … before obtaining education. “

Senator Maryland also slammed support for President Trump by a republican budget, who calls for cutting $ 880 billion, which she warns and democrats, will affect Medicaid. “And if this is not enough, they even arrange work for social insurance and some other basic programs,” said Alsobrooks. “Imagine that your health care and decades of contribution to social security are not as important as trillions in cuts to help these billionaires.”

When the Republicans strongly perform their program to reduce federal expenses, in addition they put grounds for payment for the economic program of President Trump, which incorporates the extension of his tax reductions in 2017, which expire this yr. Economists have long indicated that the richest Americans, who constitute 1% of the population, and corporations have mainly benefited from tax reductions.

“(We) We will not have Elon Musk’s hands in our pockets to take our money from our communities and bring it back to the pocket of billionaires,” said Maya Wiley, president of a leadership conference on civil law and man, in relation to the adviser of the billionaire Trump, who manages the Department of the Department of the White House. “Nobody voted for it. Nobody voted in favor of creating chaos. We voted for solutions for our communities and we are here because we will not come back. “

Admitting that a gaggle of activists stood outside the US Capitol, which was built by enslaved black people, Wiley said that Congress will soon resolve “whether it would take money from the classes that our kids … will we not have the option to see a physician, after we are sick or our veterans who appear to be us all, get the support that they earn because they put their lives for this country.

Despite the fears of black women’s leaders regarding the state of Washington and national implications, Campbell said that having two historical black women in the US Senate is a silver lining. “During the withdrawal, there are also things that show that we win and break these barriers,” she said.

Reflecting on this vivid point, Senator Alsobrooks told Rallygoers that the view that black women were defeated in the 2024 election was a “great fat lie.”

“For the first time we chose not one, but two black women in the history of our country. And also, because of your activism, we now have the largest participation of African Americans serving in the Senate in our country, “said Alsobrooks. “You are victorious and invincible in so many respects. So I want us to all remember that your activism, your action and sacrifice matter. “
