国家城市联盟发布第50期《黑人美国现状》年度报告，指出特朗普政府的政策变化损害了黑人美国人实现美国梦的机会。[1]报告称黑人美国人的机会"比民权运动以来任何时期都更加遥远"。[1]
该联盟批评政府改革了司法部民权司和平等就业机会委员会，改变了投票法规。[1]报告指出这些措施与民权运动的目标相悖。[1]
城市联盟领导人Marc Morial表示，虽然这些政策针对黑人美国人，但"这些攻击将广泛影响工薪阶层、贫困美国人和中产阶层"。[1]报告还批评政府推行的多元化倡议回退和经济进步项目的削减。[1]
与此同时，报告赞扬了拜登政府签署的新冠疫情刺激方案、支持少数族裔小企业的法律和两党基础设施法案。[1]这是城市联盟自1976年开始发布以来的第50版年度报告。[1]
The National Urban League released its 50th annual State of Black America report, asserting that policy changes under the Trump administration are damaging Black Americans' prospects for achieving the American Dream [1]. The organization contends that opportunities for Black Americans are now "more distant than at any point since the civil rights movement," driven by reforms to the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as reshaping of voting laws [1].
Marc Morial, the organization's leader, emphasized that while these measures directly target Black Americans, their consequences extend beyond that community [1]. "Although aimed at Black Americans, these attacks will have broad impact on working-class Americans, poor Americans, and the middle class," Morial stated [1]. The report specifically criticizes the government's rollback of diversity initiatives and programs supporting economic progress, calling them reversals that contradict civil rights movement objectives [1].
The Urban League contrasted these developments with actions taken during the Biden administration, which it credited with signing pandemic stimulus legislation, enacting laws supporting minority-owned small businesses, and backing a bipartisan infrastructure bill [1]. This report marks the 50th edition since the Urban League began publishing the annual assessment in 1976 [1].
