“We are encouraged to hear that the President has decided to heed our call to action by removing Mr. Bannon. Bannon has been complicit in the indefensible -- lending White House support to neo-Nazis and white supremacy groups.
We have pressed the case to administration officials that as long as Bannon’s nexis of anti-Semitism and hate was mere steps from the Oval Office, business would take a backseat to bigotry in the Trump White House. Bannon stands against everything we as a community stand for: free trade, immigration, and inclusivity. It is our hope that Bannon's departure will bring a swift end to the shameful and vile rhetoric that has plunged our country into crisis. This is a much needed first step to begin healing the wounds of this past week.”
