House Democrats pledge to make racial justice central to 2021 legislative agenda

House Democrats said they plan to address racial inequities in legislation introduced in the next Congress, sidestepping on whether a reparations bill will be on the agenda.

“We are not going to leave these communities behind,” Rep. Katherine Clark, a Massachusetts Democrat and vice-chairwoman of the House Democratic Caucus, said Tuesday. “We are at a moment of racial and economic justice in this country. And we have to look at every single policy for its racial implications and be active anti-racist in every single thing we do for the American people.”

House Democrats last year introduced legislation in the Judiciary Committee to create a commission that would study reparations proposals for African Americans.

Democratic leaders have not pledged a floor vote on the measure, but they have promised to address racial inequality, particularly in coronavirus-related measures.

People of color are tired of waiting for the status quo to change. They turned out in record numbers, giving us Georgia, because of this.
