PFAW Member,



A week of national protests and people like you speaking out in response
to the murder of George Floyd has resulted in the long overdue arrests of
the remaining three officers involved in his death. While hundreds of
thousands protest across the nation, the Floyd family is one step closer
to justice.

But there is still a long way to go. The memories of George Floyd, Breonna
Taylor, and the countless others whose lives have been lost at the hands
of anti-black police violence must inspire and drive us to action as a
nation – and the Department of Justice must play a central role.

investigate police departments in Minneapolis, Louisville, and other
cities whose police departments have been involved in racist police
violence against Black people>>

While the trial process plays out for the officers involved in George
Floyd’s death, the Justice Department must do its job by leading a
much-needed federal response, in the form of investigations into the
police departments across the country that have served as a barrier to
justice and accountability for anti-Black police violence.

It’s the DOJ’s job to conduct true oversight and demand accountability
from state and local police departments. The DOJ must also conduct federal
civil rights investigations, investigate, and sue law enforcement agencies
as needed to ensure constitutional policing.

However, Attorney General William Barr seems more interested in helping
Trump mobilize the military and police to commit violence against
protesters and clamp down on our First Amendment rights!

[ [link removed] ]Please add your name now to demand that the DOJ put its focus where it
should be: investigating the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and
others>>

The most recent cases of anti-Black police violence are shining a
spotlight on policing practices in communities across the country, and we
know there are countless other incidences that don’t receive this level of
attention and sadly go largely unnoticed. These victims deserve justice
and we call upon the DOJ to ensure they receive it.

While we continue marching in the streets and calling attention to racism
and hate, let’s keep fighting to ensure that the federal government is
doing its part.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition today and urge the DOJ to open investigations into
police departments that have demonstrated anti-Black police violence in
their communities>>

In solidarity,

– PFAW
