DEREK CHAUVIN’S CONVICTION ON ALL COUNTS MARKS A TURNING POINT ON POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY!

We are hopeful that accountability will become the new norm, when it comes to policing in America!

“We commend the prosecution team assembled by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who pursued justice with rigor and integrity."

“We must build on the movement their actions and this conviction represent by enacting the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and putting an end to this pattern and practice of abuse."

See FULL STATEMENT...

We are hopeful that today’s verdict marks a turning point in holding police accountable.

With this verdict, the jury has made an unambiguous declaration that unwarranted use of force against Black people by police is a crime, and that Black Lives Matter.

✊🏿 This is a time for somber remembrance of and all the lives lost to unjustified police violence.

✊🏾 This is a time to enact the Justice in Policing Act.

✊🏽 This is a time to rededicate ourselves.

4️⃣Four.
✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼It was just 4 courageous, young college students who staged the initial coordinated sit-in demonstration at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC, and sparked a wave of sit-ins that became a key feature for action in the nation's first Civil Rights Movement.
Ezell Blair Jr., David Richmond, Franklin McCain and Joseph McNeil, known as the Greensboro 4, refused to leave the segregated lunch counter after being denied service on Feb. 1, 1960. By Feb. 3, about 300 more students joined the protest.
By the end of March, similar sit-ins were being staged in 55 cities across 13 states. We salute the Greensboro 4 and all those who sacrified and fought for our freedoms and rights. We will continue the fight.
