John,
The cold-blooded killing of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police officers is a
devastating reminder of how broken this injustice system is. Like Summer
Lee recently said, “it’s painful every single time,” because Tyre’s life
mattered, and this never should have happened.
Video footage, training, and pretty words about police reform didn’t stop
this murder, and they won’t prevent police from murdering again. We know
that the culture of policing in America is what allows police to kill with
impunity, and the policies our lawmakers set enable them to keep doing so.
We need leaders who are willing to go up against the criminal injustice
system — people like Cori Bush and Summer Lee.
But we also know that it’s the job of elected leaders to always stand hand
in hand with the community on the ground. So today, we wanted to make sure
you had a way to support Tyre Nichols’ family right now.
Tyre Nichols’ parents are fundraising to support themselves while taking
time off work — time their work doesn’t provide. They’re looking to cover
the costs of Tyre’s funeral and more, and hoping to gather enough funds to
build a skateboard park memorializing his life.
[ [link removed] ]There are many critical ways to engage right now, but if you have the
means, we are encouraging our supporters to contribute what you can to the
GoFundMe organized by Tyre’s mother.
