Battling police brutality should be everyone's fight. That's why passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is STILL necessary--because, as the tragic death of Tyre Nichols proves--it's STILL RELEVANT.
In 2021, partisan politics killed the bill that could have saved Tyre Nichols's life by enacting anti-brutality measures, limiting qualified immunity, and ensuring our police forces are better trained to deescalate potentially volatile situations.
Share this petition across your social media AND with YOUR federal representatives! Make sure they know that WE STILL WANT JUSTICE: in policing and in our politics.
If you're in Tennessee, we ESPECIALLY need YOUR help: please contact Congressman Steve Cohen's Office at (901) 544-4131 or (202) 225-3265 to say that you'd like him to reintroduce the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act on the floor of the House of Representatives. It's as simple as pasting this update into an email you send Congressman Steve Cohen's Office.
Over the coming weeks, open letters to the President and Vice-Present of the United States, Democratic leaders in both the House and the Senate, in addition to our nation's Congressional Black Caucus and NAACP will be released for you to sign and post on your own social media channels. We need to make sure that justice in policing remains more than a promise made in 2020: we need it to become LAW in 2023, and to take precedent in the upcoming political campaigns of 2024.
Let's pass police reform. Let's save lives. Let's do it for Tyre, and in the name of the peace we wish his family.
