Reject Trump's attack on civil rights protections.

This executive order from President Trump is deeply concerning and poses a grave threat to civil rights protections for women, minorities, and other vulnerable groups. By undercutting the legal concept of disparate impact and calling for a review of enforcement actions related to laws like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Civil Rights Act, and the Fair Housing Act, the order seeks to dismantle vital safeguards against discrimination. Women's financial independence and equal access to credit is at risk, as the order targets provisions that prevent lenders from discriminating based on marital status or gender. This harks back to an era when women required a male co-signer simply to obtain a credit card or loan – a blatant injustice that must not be allowed to resurface. Similarly, efforts to weaken enforcement of laws prohibiting racial discrimination in employment, housing, and programs receiving federal funding are utterly unacceptable. This brazen attack on civil rights cannot stand. I urge you to use the full power of the legislative branch to block implementation of this executive order and its damaging rollbacks. Congress must take decisive action to safeguard our nation's core principles of equal protection and opportunity for all citizens, regardless of gender, race, or other characteristics. The very integrity of our democracy is at stake. Robust checks and balances are crucial when faced with such reckless executive overreach that imperils fundamental rights. We cannot allow hard-won civil rights gains to be so carelessly dismantled. I implore you to take a stand against this dangerous order and uphold the nation's commitment to justice and equality under the law. The American people are counting on Congress to fulfill its Constitutional duty as a coequal branch and serve as the critical counterweight against this administration's most destructive impulses.
