Right now, negotiations are happening in Congress over urgently-needed reforms to our policing systems — and a key provision to end qualified immunity is at risk.
The doctrine of qualified immunity shields law enforcement from accountability, and it denies justice for too many families robbed of their loved ones.
That’s why Ayanna — in partnership with Representative Cori Bush — led progressive members in writing a letter making it plain to House and Senate leadership: We must end qualified immunity.
The provision to end qualified immunity is one of the most important elements of police reform. We can't afford to weaken or eliminate it. Will you chip in $3 or whatever you can to help Ayanna keep up the fight to end qualified immunity and lift up transformative policies that center healing and justice?
There can be no true justice in America if we cannot save lives, just like there can be no true accountability in America if we do not eliminate qualified immunity.
We must be bold and unapologetic in our pursuit of policies that ensure police accountability and address the crisis of systemic racism and police brutality plaguing Black and brown communities.
We must legislate intentionally to correct persistent injustices codified by law and transform every aspect of our criminal (in)justice system — that’s why this provision to end qualified immunity is so important.
Thank you,
The A-Team
