Jack, sign the petition: Demand Congress remove the shield of protection from police.

SIGN THE PETITION
As law enforcement continues to claim the lives of unarmed individuals across the country, officers are increasingly shielded from accountability and victims are denied recourse due to qualified immunity—a legal doctrine that strictly limits the right to sue police officers and other public officials for constitutional violations, such as excessive force.

Police shootings are resulting in wrongful deaths and the justice for that is the police policing themselves. Qualified immunity grants law enforcement officers unchecked power–this must end now!

Congress can and must act now to ensure accountability from law enforcement by passing the Ending Qualified Immunity Act.

Sign the petition to Congress: Pass the Ending Qualified Immunity Act NOW!

SIGN THE PETITION
The Ending Qualified Immunity Act would eliminate the unjust and court-invented doctrine of qualified immunity, and restore the ability for people to obtain relief when state and local officials, including police officers, violate their legal and constitutionally secured rights.

In the midst of the continued inhumane assaults–especially for Black, brown, and Indigenous people, who are nearly three times more likely to be fatally shot by police–we must demand the protective shield over police be lowered and we must demand justice for impacted families.

No one is above the law, not even law enforcement. We must have accountability and stop protecting cops with qualified immunity.

Sign the petition to Congress: Pass the Ending Qualified Immunity Act NOW!

SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
