Our nation is reeling from the violent insurrection of white supremacists at the US Capitol. Now is the time to hold the perpetrators accountable. Sign this petition if you agree with Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Real Justice, and a broad coalition of groups: We need an investigation into the attack – and ties between white supremacists and Capitol Police. ADD YOUR NAME

John, Congressman Jamaal Bowman just introduced an urgent piece of legislation in response to the actions of thousands of violent insurrectionists last week.

The Congressional Oversight of Unjust Policing Act would uncover how the terrorist attack on the US Capitol was able to breach the Capitol building. It would establish a commission to investigate the attack – and ties between white supremacists and Capitol Police.

A broad group of 20 organizations and campaigns are supporting the bill. But to make sure Congress takes tangible action, we need to get LOUD.

Will you add your name to join us in demanding an investigation into the attack and ties between white supremacists and Capitol Police?

Let’s break this down a little more.

Many police actually allowed violent white supremacists into the Capitol. There’s footage of police opening gates willingly and taking selfies with them.

Now compare this to how police treated Black Lives Matter protests last summer:

• They ran crowds of civilians over with their trucks;
• They kettled and arrested thousands of peaceful demonstrators on bridges and in public parks;
• They tear gassed, beat, and maimed countless more, including journalists and children.

This country is in a crisis of racist policing. We need a serious intervention. Firing the heads of the Capitol Police is not enough.

This is not just a case of police competence. This is a case of police-aided, violent, white supremacist insurrection. And this country desperately needs to set a precedent that these actions cannot stand.

Demand an investigation into the attack on the US Capitol and ties between white supremacists and Capitol Police. Add your name to support the Congressional Oversight of Unjust Policing Act right now.

Thank you for speaking up for justice today and every day,
