If “Defund the Police” is such a necessary ‘slogan’ when do JD’s plan to create legislation in support of it. Last I checked they are FEDERAL representatives not activists.
I do find it odd that they didn’t use their platforms to promote the #JusticeInPolicing act though.
We can’t let Congress forget the names of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many Black Americans who should be alive today. I told Cosmopolitan: the Senate must pass the #JusticeInPolicing Act. And all of us have a responsibility to be anti-racist. cosmopolitan.com/politics/a3380…
Today we remember George Floyd and the hundreds of people killed by police brutality AND commit to reimagining public safety. The House did its job; the Senate must pass the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act.
Justice for Tamir.
Justice for Breonna.
Justice for Casey.
Justice for Andre.
Justice for Daunte.
Justice for Ma'Khia.
#JusticeForAll #JusticeInPolicing #SayTheirNames .
NEW: President Biden praises Congressmember Bass Sen. Cory Booker and Senator Tim Scott for making progress on a bipartisan #JusticeInPolicing bill.
Change is a long hard slog but it’s coming.
The guilty verdict is only a start. The Senate must now pass the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act.
Let us pass the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act before the one year anniversary of George Floyd’s death.

I’m very glad that the House once again passed the #JusticeInPolicing Act as a first step to protect Black lives and end police brutality. The Senate should get rid of the filibuster so Mitch McConnell doesn’t veto this powerfully important bill too. bostonglobe.com/2021/03/04/nat…
BREAKING: The U.S. House just passed the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act. This bill is a crucial step forward in addressing police violence and systemic racism.
On this day one year ago, George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer. We stand with the Floyd family in calling for the Senate to pass the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act as a crucial step in long overdue changes to the racist systems that kill Black people.
We can’t bring back the countless Black Americans who have died at the hands of the police.
But we can honor their memory with action.
I voted yes on the #JusticeInPolicing Act to enact meaningful change and reform the culture of policing in our country.
Thank you to the ACJR for inviting me to be a part of their lobbying process. 🙏🏽 I had the incredible opportunity to address our concerns to U.S. Senators & speak alongside outstanding community members who are all advocating for change. #JusticeInPolicing #JusticeInPolicing Act
Today’s verdict is the beginning - not the end. Join the Floyd family in calling for Senate passage of the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act: act.everytown.org/sign/Senate_Ju… #GeorgeFloyd
The #GeorgeFloyd #JusticeInPolicing Act has the power to meet this moment. It has specific rules, like banning chokeholds. It is forward thinking, by setting national standards. It has true accountability, creating investigatory powers and a national database.
Since George Floyd’s murder one year ago today, there have been hundreds of officer-involved deaths in the U.S.
To stop this, we need to bring transparency and accountability to policing.
The George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act does that. We need to get it signed into law.
And we join the Floyd family in calling for the Senate to pass the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act as one of the steps towards change.
One year ago today, George Floyd was murdered and over the last year we’ve continued to see Americans losing their lives to police brutality. Today we recommit to changing and reforming policing in America. Now is the time to pass the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act.
One week ago, Derek Chauvin was convicted of his crimes.
Our work is not done.
We need #PoliceReformNOW .
We need the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act signed into law.
