‘Stolen Land’: Democrats Reframe Thanksgiving
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said some families had “empty seats” at Thanksgiving because loved ones were “abducted & deported.” She called for a more just America.
Pressley posted, “This Thanksgiving, I’m thinking of our neighbors with an empty seat at the dinner table. Those with loved ones abducted & deported from their families. Those we lost due to gun violence, mass incarceration, & more. A more just America is possible, if we fight for it.”
Pressley has said Americans live “on stolen land” and called on lawmakers to center Native voices in policy and to acknowledge historical trauma.
Pressley added, “And while Republicans try to whitewash American history, we acknowledge our country’s role in inflicting trauma on our Indigenous neighbors. We’ll keep celebrating their contributions, centering Native voices in our policymaking, & building a more just, equitable future.”
