| Dear Friend, My first email to you as Executive Director came in May 2020 -- I called for justice for Black and brown victims of police violence after the murder of George Floyd. Almost three years later, Congress still hasn’t passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, and now I’m writing to you again in the wake of the murders of Tyre Nichols, Anthony Lowe Jr., and Keenan Anderson. The George Floyd Act faces a difficult pathway this year with a Republican-controlled House. But protecting our communities from police violence is a priority that crosses race, class, and parties. That’s why I’m personally asking you to call your congressmember and demand that they vote for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Since 2020 we have made clear progress on police accountability:
Community demands for change and reform fueled each of these wins and many more. We need to keep calling on our elected officials to act with courage and vote for more critical police reforms. Call your congressmember today to ask them for their vote for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Yours in the fight for safe communities, –Irene, along with Angela, Annie, Isidra, Lindsay, LisaMarie, Mai, Mai, and Scottie (the Courage team)
