A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

People For Member,

This was an important but draining week regarding the future of policing
and our collective continued search for true justice. The murderer of
George Floyd, Derek Chauvin, was found guilty on all counts, in a far
too-rare example of police accountability.

To help inform our members of the latest developments and discuss the path
forward on reimagining public safety in our communities and what activists
can do to help, People For held a virtual briefing that you don’t want to
miss!

[ [link removed] ]Watch People For’s President Ben Jealous, Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick,
noted civil rights leader and historian Mary Frances Berry, and MoveOn’s
Executive Director Rahna Epting discuss the George Floyd verdict and the
future of justice in America >>

[ [link removed] ]The George Floyd Verdict and the Future of Justice in America

There’s much more that can and must be done to ensure that no more Black
and brown families grieve as Floyd’s family is – or as the families of
Ma’Khia Bryant, Andrew Brown, Daunte Wright, and Adam Toledo are. We must
pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act at the federal level, which
will not solve every problem but is a good start. And we must do the hard
work of fundamentally changing policing at the local level, which is
happening across the country from the state level to the city and county
level, where we are seeing innovative solutions proposed – some of which
are discussed during the briefing.

Will you share this video to help raise awareness of what’s next for the
fight to ensure true justice in policing?

If you don’t have a social media account, please forward this to friends
and family who can share it for you!

While we continue mourning the loss of George Floyd, and for the many
families whose loved ones’ lives have been stolen through police violence,
we must strengthen our commitment to rooting out systemic racism in our
justice system. Anything less will only allow these acts of violence to
continue.

Thank you for tuning in, and for staying with us in the fight for justice.

In solidarity,

Sarah, People For the American Way
