Summer Lee, a Democratic representative, plans to roll out a resolution titled “Reparations Now Resolution.” Lee argued that reparations are both a legal and moral obligation for Americans. Lee’s resolution calls for spending trillions of dollars to this cause. Lee also claimed that President Trump’s policies are “anti Black” on steroids and insinuates that the direction that Trump is taking the country is inconsistent with the direction she feels we should go.<\/p>\n

A House Democrat plans to introduce a resolution calling for the U.S. to spend trillions of dollars on reparations for Black Americans this week.<\/p>\n

Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., plans to introduce the Reparations Now Resolution on Thursday. Lee met with other lawmakers and activists on Capitol Hill on Tuesday at an event titled “Why We Can’t Wait: Advancing Reparative Justice in Our Lifetime.” She argues that reparations are a “moral and legal obligation” for Americans.<\/p>\n

“This is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built. We should be the ones who are shaping it,” said Lee.<\/p>\n

“Their real intention is to build up whatever comes next in their image,” she said, referring to the Trump administration, “and we better fight like hell to make sure that we’re building it in our image.”<\/p>\n

Lee added that “it took nothing but a stroke of a pen,” for President Donald Trump to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we recognize that the fight to restore Black folks has to be so much more substantive,” she added.<\/p>\n

Lee’s resolution cites U.S. slavery, Jim Crow laws, and other racially discriminatory laws and policies to justify spending trillions of dollars supporting the descendants of Black Americans in the U.S.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
