A word from our President ...![]() Anne O'Brien, President
Anne O’Brien
I receive messages from Faith in Public Action which has a Faithful Agenda for the first 100 days of the Biden administration. They aim to “affirm Black lives and lay the groundwork for ending systemic racism. Our faith demands that we repent for our nation’s legacy of white supremacy and act boldly for racial justice.” They are asking us to support H.R. 40. This national legislation would support a thorough investigation of reparation proposals, so that our country can begin the process of repenting for what Faith in Public Action calls “the grave sin of slavery “and somehow remedy the terrible harm done by these centuries of oppression and marginalization. We saw white supremacy in action at the January 6th insurrection. H.R. 40 will allow members of Congress to investigate ways we could atone for the damage done by slavery and the marginalization of our African American citizens that has continued ever since. The Faith Agenda states that we people of faith know that “Black lives matter to God.” H.R. 40 gives us an opportunity to work to tear down inequality and white supremacy. . Could you please contact your member of Congress (probably Peter DeFazio) and ask that he support this bill. We are sure that he does but it helps him to work on the measure’s behalf if he can point to the thousands of messages (we hope) he receives in support of this resolution. This legislation was just introduced in the House of Representatives earlier this week. Identify yourself as a woman of faith and/or a member of Church Women United of Lane County. If we all contact Peter he’ll know that people of faith support this. It is truly time to act to end white supremacy. As people of faith we must do this. Email: defazio.house.gov Addresses: 2134 Rayburn Office Building, Washington DC 20515 405 East 8th Ave., Eugene OR 97401 Phone: 1-800-944-9603 I’ve heard that a hand written letter or post card or a phone call to the office is more effective than email But if email is what you do, I say, do it. |
