Content Warning: this email discusses murder and police brutality.

Friend, we are both heartbroken, horrified, and outraged by
George Floyd’s execution by four police officers in Minneapolis. Yet
another Black man murdered by police.

In this moment, Congress must stop and listen to the people who are
hurting, and to the communities that have been ignored for so long. That
is why we, in partnership with our sisters-in-service, Reps. Karen Bass
and Barbara Lee, introduced a resolution to condemn police brutality,
racial profiling, and the use of excessive force.

We need your help to make sure we have broad support for this powerfully
important resolution -- and we must demand that leadership bring this
resolution to the floor for a vote.

[ [link removed] ]Friend, please support our fight for action by sending a
letter to your representative in the House telling them you support our
resolution. Participating in this action will only take a few moments of
your time, and it’s a critical step on the path to justice.

Black people in our country have been brutalized, dehumanized, and
murdered for centuries -- violence that continues today at the hands of
the police. It is past time for accountability, and for justice.

We will keep supporting the organizations on the ground in our communities
doing the work to organize and fight for justice, and we will continue the
struggle to end the systemic racism and bigotry that led to the deaths of
George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner,
Philando Castille, Tamir Rice, and so many others who should still be
alive today. That’s why we need widespread citizen support for this
resolution, and to bring it to the floor for a vote as soon as possible.

[ [link removed] ]Please, send your representative a letter and let them know you support
our resolution -- and urge them to push House leadership for a floor vote.

Thank you for taking action. Together, we will fight for accountability.
We will fight to dismantle systems of oppression. And we will keep up the
fight to protect Black lives.

In solidarity,

-- Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar
