Reject Rahm Emanuel To Be Ambassador to Japan

Rahm Emanuel appears with his eyes obscured by a green bar

Discredited former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel will soon face a vote in the Senate to become the next U.S. ambassador to Japan — despite his horrible record with communities of color, including his administration’s cover-up of the Chicago police murder of Laquan McDonald and his closures of an unprecedented numbers of public schools and mental health clinics in neighborhoods mostly populated by racial minorities.

Hello Senator __________

My name is _____ and I am a constituent in _____ .

I am calling to urge you to publicly reject Rahm Emanuel’s nomination for Ambassador to Japan.

Emanuel is not at all diplomatic. And as mayor he was a disaster for Chicago — especially for black and brown communities.

His administration covered up the police murder of Laquan McDonald. Emanuel was openly hostile to teachers and he cruelly closed unprecedented numbers of public schools and mental health clinics in neighborhoods mostly populated by racial minorities.

Like Congressman Jamaal Bowman said, “Rewarding Rahm Emanuel’s cover up of Laquan McDonald’s murder with an ambassadorship is not an act that reflects a value of or respect for Black lives.”

As your constituent, I urge you to announce that you will vote against the confirmation of Rahm Emanuel. Thank you.
