Today, Ayanna reintroduced the End Qualified Immunity Act, alongside
Senator Ed Markey, advocates, and impacted families.

Police brutality is a crisis plaguing Black and brown communities, and
qualified immunity currently shields law enforcement from accountability —
denying justice for too many victims and families who’ve been robbed of
their loved ones. That's why Ayanna has been fighting to end qualified
immunity since her first term in Congress.

Ayanna originally introduced this bill in June 2020 after the murder of
George Floyd by police in Minneapolis. Now, Ayanna is reintroducing this
legislation to keep up the pressure on Congress to act, because we know
there can be no true accountability in our country if we do not eliminate
qualified immunity.

On this very day in 1871, Congress passed the “Ku Klux Klan Act,” one of
the first civil rights laws — that allowed people to sue anyone acting
under the authority of the state who deprived them of their constitutional
rights. It’s the law the Supreme Court gutted when it created the doctrine
of qualified immunity.

So, more than 150 years later — in the face of persistent, traumatizing,
deadly police violence — it’s why Ayanna is reintroducing her legislation
to restore the protections provided by the “Ku Klux Klan Act” and end
qualified immunity. We must be bold and unapologetic in our pursuit of
policies that ensure police accountability and address the crises of
systemic racism and police brutality.
