Content warning: This email discusses anti-Black violence and police
brutality.
Driving while Black isn’t a crime, and it absolutely shouldn’t be a death
sentence.
And yet for generations, Black people have been unjustly scrutinized,
subjected to excessive force and biased interaction, and even killed by
the police — all in the name of “traffic safety.”
That’s why, together with her colleagues in the Congressional Black
Caucus, Cori is demanding Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg address
racial disparities in traffic enforcement.

Sandra Bland. Philando Castile. Daunte Wright. Tyre Nichols. All their
deaths began with a traffic stop.
Last year alone, more than 175 people were murdered by police after
initially being stopped for a traffic violation.
We can’t add any more people to the list,
John.
The Department of Transportation must take critical steps to reduce racial
inequities in traffic enforcement, which is rooted in our country’s
history of policing Black mobility and physical freedom.
Cori won’t stop fighting to end the racist status quo of traffic
enforcement. But she needs your help to keep up the pressure. [ [link removed] ]If
you’re with us in this fight, will you chip in $5 now?
In solidarity,
Team Cori
