Congressman Jamaal Bowman here,
I was born and raised in New York City. I was raised to believe that hard work and love for all people lays the foundation for the kind of community we want to build. So when I heard Marjorie Taylor Greene was in our city to protest Trump's arraignment — I made sure she knew exactly how New Yorkers felt about it.
When we elect our government representatives, we expect them to have our best interests and priorities at heart as legislators for our future. But what happens when personal politics outweigh the needs of the people?
Well, let's take a look at Marjorie Taylor Greene's priorities. 🤦🏾♂️
The truth is: Marjorie Taylor Greene has made a constant choice to align herself with hateful rhetoric and politics. She touts beliefs that will never be accepted here in New York City. Instead of fighting for her own constituents in Congress and in her district, she's in New York City to selfishly boost her fundraising, spread her divisive propaganda, and continue doing Trump's dirty work.
New Yorkers simply don't let that fly.
New York City stood up to Marjorie Taylor Greene and let her know that her hatred is not welcome here. Now it's time to put this pressure on anyone else who continues to uplift the pillars of racism and injustice that exist in our democracy. If you stand with me in this fight, please chip in to help boost our movement and continue challenging the status-quo.
My perspective is simple: we need our representatives to stop wasting time and do their freaking jobs.
If Marjorie is worried about this country, she should be in Washington, D.C. fighting to end gun violence, take climate action, and provide accessible health care for all. She needs to be in her district, fighting to end childhood poverty, bringing affordable housing to her constituents, and so much more. But instead, she's prioritizing a cozy relationship with Trump and her own personal politics ahead of finding real solutions to the issues in her community.
Every day, I dedicate 100% of my time to bringing real change that meets the severity of the crises we face. From fighting for care workers and nurses who bring life and health into our cities, to working to build stronger education systems for our students, there's so much at stake for our futures.
It's time to get these goons out of office and send their hateful policies packing. If you're ready to get this work done, please chip in to help build our momentum, and continue fighting for a future rooted in love, not hate.
Peace and love,
Jamaal Bowman
