    Trump’s decision does not project smart and strong leadership. It projects small and weak leadership from a man that will do literally anything to fulfill an empty campaign promise, even though the consequences for people at home and around the globe may be catastrophic.

    My statement on Trump’s Decision to Abandon the Iran Nuclear Deal: “With this decision, we have witnessed yet another example of a temperamentally unfit and reckless president who will do anything to undo the successes of the prior Administration."

    “…The effects of the president’s underinformed instincts, enabled by the ideologues in his administration, are beginning to show up in some of the numbers, representing real pain that Americans are suffering for Mr. Trump’s deficient leadership.”

    I remain proud that my amendment to the CHAMPION Act will provide $25 million in additional funding to allow community health centers to participate in the National Institute of Health’s “All of Us” Research Program.

    Today, it is important that we finish the work of these trailblazing women and Congressman Dyer and rewrite the wrongs of history.

    During this period, women were important and prominent figures. Before this legislation was introduced they already had a grassroots movement in motion. They were organizing petition drives, fundraising, and educating communities.

    Congressman Dyer, who was the first to introduce an anti-lynching bill in 1918, motivated them and helped galvanize a movement. His bill was intended to punish authorities that failed to prevent lynching and act as a deterrent to end the practice. Unfortunately, it did not pass.

    The horrific, despicable, and racist practice of lynching spawned their activism. African-American women stood at the forefront in public protest of these racially motivated, inhumane, and evil crimes.

    It is also important to remember the role African-American women played in the anti-lynching movement. It was black women who created the group, Anti-Lynching Crusaders, with the backing of the NAACP.
