This month, in a disheartening move, the president removed a federal ban on segregation in federal facilities. This action is a step backward, away from equality and unity. Now, more than ever, it is vital for us to promote inclusivity and equality in every aspect of our lives. Therefore, a discussion to rename The White House, a landmark symbol in our nation, can serve as a powerful starting point.

The White House has been the home to presidents since John Adams in 1800. It has remained a symbol of the American people's power and the strength of democracy. However, the current climate in our country and recent actions by the present authority give us a reason to consider the name of this monumental building and how extraordinarily offensive it is. A new name would symbolize renewal, unity, diversity, and moving forward towards a more inclusive nation.

It's important to remember our history as we move forward, but it's equally important to take the steps necessary to create an inclusive future. Renaming The White House could be a significant first step on the lengthy path to equality.

We believe, as a collective, that a dialogue must open regarding this matter; every voice must be heard, and every opinion must be considered. Please sign this petition to initiate a discussion about renaming The White House, as a first step towards equality, unity, and progress in our country.
