Dear Friends,

Rep. Nadler Chairing a House Judiciary Committee Hearing on the George
Floyd Justice in Policing Act
George Floyd's murder at the end of May was but another in a long list of
black lives lost to police brutality. The protests that followed—weeks of
sustained, nationwide anger, with millions of voices joining into one to
demand deep-seated, systemic changes to American policing—made it very
clear that meaningful action needed to be taken.

The House's legislative response to the scourge of racist police brutality
was crafted specifically to deliver that comprehensive reform. The George
Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020, which I led through the House
Judiciary Committee, would overhaul our nation's system of law enforcement,
banning violent practices and instituting systems of accountability that
would restore the public's trust in the police. It would establish a
national police misconduct registry, ensuring violent police officers can't
simply move to another jurisdiction and continue to work as police officers
after being fired for bad behavior, it would ban chokeholds like the one
that killed Eric Garner, carotid holds like the one that killed George
Floyd, and no-knock warrants like the one that resulted in Breonna Taylor’s
death, and it would reform qualified immunity. Simply put, it would be the
most sweeping piece of policing reform legislation to ever be enacted into
law.

I was deeply proud when the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020
passed the House with bipartisan support. But the policy changes within the
bill cannot be enacted unless the Senate takes up the bill and passes it.
The House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act over two weeks
ago, and the Senate has done nothing. It's clear that we need to place
pressure on Majority Leader McConnell and Senate Republicans to take action.

learn more about the bill and to add your name as a citizen consponsor. If
you sign up by July 23, your name will be included in the Congressional
Record.

This bill—and the justice it delivers—is so important. We must continue
working for it to become law.

Sincerely,
