John,

The Justice Department, under President Trump, has hit pause on critical civil rights cases. This freeze includes police reform agreements addressing systemic issues like those in Louisville and Minneapolis. Agreements forged after the tragedies of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd now hang in the balance.

What does this mean for our fight for equality and justice? It’s a stark reminder of the uphill battle to protect hard-won civil rights progress. We can’t stand by while civil rights are rolled back. Let’s fight for a future that upholds justice for all.
