NEW YORK – The UndocuBlack Network today remembered the one-year anniversary of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The group’s executive director, Patrice Lawrence, and its director of media and narratives, Yoliswa Cele-Khumalo Hadebe, issued the following qualite sildenafil citrate avec expedition statement:
“Jan. 6 was a stark reminder of the lengths white supremacists will go to maintain power and control. It was also a warning for elected leaders that regardless of political party, they must advance truth and justice, rather than peddling in lies and misinformation,” said Lawrence. “The occupation of the U.S. Capitol was a low point in American democracy. All elected leaders must come together to ensure accountability for persons who entered the Capitol, bringing mayhem and fear with them.”
“It is not lost on Black undocumented folks that the people who stormed the Capitol and their apologists are the same people challenging humane immigration policies. But hate should never be coddled and allowed to fester,” added Lawrence.
“On the day of the white hate insurrection, Black and Brown communities were left terrified of merely being outside in D.C.,” Cele-Khumalo Hadebe said. “UndocuBlack spent the day ensuring its members had safe rides from work and school.”
“The goal of the white hate insurrectionists, as it was when the Klan paraded in white sheets and burned churches, was to inflict terror and fear. But even in the turbulent days of Jim Crow, Black people mustered the courage to challenge hate. It is time for us to tap into the courage of our ancestors who directly faced lynching, beatings, sexual assault, enslavement and terrorist bombings of sacred gathering spots. Our ancestors fought like hell then, and we, as their descendants, will fight now and always,” said Cele-Khumalo Hadebe.
