Dear Friend,
Reform and action are necessary from our leaders at every level, and with our collective mourning must come swift action.
That’s why I am standing with Representative Jeffries to support the Eric Garner Effective Use of Force Prevention Act—a bill that bans chokeholds and pressure to the neck by police.
And just this week, I joined my colleagues as an original cosponsor to The Justice in Policing Act of 2020, which will:
-
Hold police accountable in our courts
-
Improve transparency into policing by collecting better and more accurate data of police misconduct
-
Improve police training and practices
-
Make lynching a federal crime
Yes, this is long overdue—and it continues to not be enough—but we must take the immediate steps we can with the promise of continued action.
Stand with me by adding your name.

Something I cannot get past: If these bills had been passed, we could have immediately held the police responsible accountable for the death of George Floyd.
And for 5 years we have not learned from the death of Eric Garner. But for so much longer we have not listened to Black Americans when they have demanded change.
No longer.
In solidarity,
Madeleine Dean
