Yesterday, a jury rightly convicted former police officer Derrick Chauvin for murdering George Floyd.

However, let’s be clear: while this verdict was correct, it is not enough. It DOES NOT solve the culture of structural racism in policing. We must take decisive action.

This is why it’s critical that the Senate stops delaying and acts immediately to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Add your name if you agree! [[link removed]]ADD YOUR NAME [[link removed]]

Our bill ensures accountability for violent police officers, bans the chokeholds that killed George Floyd and Eric Garner and no-knock warrents that killed Breonna Taylor, deters racial profiling, increases transparency, demilitarizes our police force, and requires greater use of body cameras.

Furthermore, it calls for new training programs for our police forces on de-escalation and prohibits problematic officers who have been fired or left an agency from simply moving to another jurisdiction without accountability.

Here in America, we must ensure that nobody is above the law, and we need to have a way to hold police accountable.

Every Senator who blocks this bill from moving forward is serving as an agent of structural racism. Add your name to demand that Senate Republicans do their job (for once) and start working with us to make our country safe for all citizens — regardless of their race! [[link removed]]

In solidarity,
