人兽性交

MONTGOMERY, Ala. 鈥� 人兽性交 Action Fund Chief of Staff Lecia Brooks released the following statement in response to the bipartisan U.S. House of Representatives approval of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), 295-125, which includes provisions to prohibit the display of the Confederate battle flag on Department of Defense property and requires the Secretary of Defense to identify and rename military installations around the world named for leaders of the Confederacy.

鈥淲e are pleased that the House of Representatives has overwhelmingly approved provisions in the NDAA designed to address racist symbols, violent extremism and white supremacy in the Armed Forces, and a number of other provisions designed to help identify and address longstanding racial and ethnic disparities in the military.

鈥淥ur shared heritage and values reject any need to glorify a repulsive time in American history by honoring those who committed treason against the United States and fought and died to keep Black people enslaved and intimidated. The removal of these dehumanizing and oppressive displays and symbols from military installations and public spaces across the country is long overdue.

鈥淚t鈥檚 encouraging to see that our elected officials are finally starting to address the systemic structures that uphold antiblack racism and white supremacy.鈥�
