BK Dems can't continue with business as usual until we see real accountability for hate speech. We're calling on
@bkdems leadership to hold DL Lori Maslow accountable & for candidates to boycott the Jan 31 public forum until they do. 🧵 https://t.co/DNYAumTuSJ

In early January 2021, hateful, xenophobic, violent and racist remarks against Chinese, Palestinian and other communities of color by District Leader Lori Maslow were uncovered on Twitter.

Since this discovery, there have been multiple calls from elected officials, BK political clubs, County Committee members, & Chinese, Muslim & Palestinian - American community groups for Leader Maslow’s resignation as District Leader & State Committeemember from the Dem Party

To date, Leader Maslow has not resigned nor has the BKDem Party officially called for Leader Maslow’s resignation or denounced her violent rhetoric. Instead the BK Dem Party made their Twitter account private, blocking access & communication to BK Dems & going silent on the issue

The issue is now not only the responsibility of Leader Maslow’s but has become one of the Party’s. This institutional problem with the Brooklyn Democratic Party must be addressed. We call on the leadership of the Party to take action on the following before the January 31st forum
