John–
The House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act one month ago—and the Senate still has not brought it up for a vote.
Tell your U.S. Senators that they need to address police violence now by passing the Justice in Policing Act.
The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is a long overdue bill that will work to address police violence, racism, and white supremacy in this country. Among other things, it will empower state officials to hold local police accountable for abuse and discrimination, improve data that tracks officer misconduct, and work to demilitarize the police. While the federal government only has so much control over how state and city police govern, the Justice in Policing Act would help move our country closer to creating an America where Black lives matter and Black people receive justice.
And yet, it has been a month since the House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and the Senate has still not brought it up for a vote. We need to make it clear to Leader McConnell and his allies in the Senate that our country cannot afford another month of inaction.
John, tell your Senators to pass the Justice in Policing Act.
Thank you for taking action.
