Statement summary
National Council of Negro Women president and CEO Shavon Arline-Bradley said racism and misogyny are not political discourse, and called on elected officials and other leaders to reject Laura Loomer and her statements.
“Racism and misogyny are not political discourse, and Black women in leadership will not be bullied into silence. These attacks are designed to demean, delegitimize, and intimidate Black women who dare to wield power. We call on every elected official, political leader, institution, and civic leader to unequivocally reject Laura Loomer and these statements. Silence in the face of this kind of hatred is unacceptable.”
