Washington, DC – Today, Equality PAC Co-Chairs Chairman Mark Takano (D-CA) and Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI) released the following statement celebrating Black History Month.

This month, as we celebrate together and reflect on how integral Black Americans have been to every chapter in our American story, let us recommit ourselves to continuing the fight against injustice in all forms and to achieving true and lasting equality for everyone as part of that more perfect union.”
