Friend,
People across the nation are calling for justice. It's time for Congress to listen.
People of all races and backgrounds have stood up to say enough of the senseless and intentional taking of Black lives. House and Senate Democrats are responding to the demands for justice with a broad package of actionable reforms to ensure that the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others move us toward historic policing reforms, including:
-
Ending the use of chokeholds
-
Establishing a National Police Misconduct Registry
-
Demilitarizing local police departments
-
Banning no-knock warrants for drug-related offenses
-
Creating flexibility in the standard for prosecuting violent officers
Clearly, our country has failed Black people. It’s time to radically reimagine what will actually keep people safe. It’s time for transformative change -- add your name and join me in demanding Congress pass the Justice in Policing Act.
Best,
Nydia
