A radical House Democrat plans to introduce a resolution that demands taxpayers give black Americans trillions of dollars in reparations for so-called “racial justice.”
Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) plans to introduce the Reparations Now Resolution on Thursday.
On Tuesday, Lee met with other far-left lawmakers and radical activists on Capitol Hill to discuss the plan.
They met at an event titled “Why We Can’t Wait: Advancing Reparative Justice in Our Lifetime.”
The congresswoman argues that reparations are a “moral and legal obligation” for American taxpayers.
“This is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built,” said Lee.
“We should be the ones who are shaping it.
“Their real intention is to build up whatever comes next in their image,” she said, referring to the Trump administration.
“We better fight like hell to make sure that we’re building it in our image.”
Lee added that “it took nothing but a stroke of a pen” for President Donald Trump to dismantle Marxism-rooted “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) programs across the federal government.
“That’s why we recognize that the fight to restore black folks has to be so much more substantive,” she added.
