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!
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
