"The NAACP is calling for Deliberate and Intentional Criminal Justice Reform that ensures the protection of Black lives.

Domestic Terrorism and Gun Violence CANNOT continue.
Those espousing white supremacist ideologies attack the very foundations of our nation.

Passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a police reform bill, by a vote of 220-212, on Wed., March 3, 2021, in Washington, D.C. The House of Representatives approved legislation aimed at preventing police misconduct that Democrats named in honor of George Floyd, whose death in police custody sparked nationwide calls to overhaul policing and address racial injustice.
"THIS IS HORRIFYING, HEARTBREAKING AND FRUSTRATING."
"We had meaningful legislation designed to avoid exactly what we are all witnessing in this video. The law enforcement officer involved has blood on his hands, and so do the partisan senators who killed the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act, a bill aimed at reducing police brutality and holding law enforcement accountable for egregious abuses of power. An unregistered license plate should not be a death sentence. Another Black man has died at the hands of police, and the officer in this video has got to be held accountable.

Renowned experts in a variety of fields focus on our deep-rooted impulse to punish people in ways that are far beyond what could be considered proportionate. Together, they illustrate how necessary it is to rein in the punitive excess of the criminal legal system, which is inexorably entwined with the legacy of slavery.
