Tell Your Senator to Pass HR 1280,
The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act! | |
Dear John, The killing of twenty-year-old Daunte Wright in Minneapolis is yet another tragic reminder of the urgency to transform our law enforcement system into an equitable, community-oriented force that eliminates racism at its root. At ASBC we believe that constructing an economic model that works for all requires the introduction of substantial policy solution to remove racism and racist practices form policy departments across the country, that’s why we urge for the prompt passage in Congress of H.R.1280 George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021 and S.492 Ending Qualified Immunity Act. | |
For over a year, Black and Brown Americans have disproportionally suffered the health and economic burden of pandemic, making them more vulnerable to fall sick or face unemployment. On top of that, it has become clear that that abusive and sometimes lethal treatment of the police is a common occurrence in these front-line communities, making the toll of the crisis unbearable. America’s business community can't afford to neglect this reality any longer, it is time to mobilize in support of swiping policy mechanism to stop police brutality and its deathly consequences. | |
