Senate Must Improve the House-Passed Justice in Policing Act

The Law Enforcement Reform Working Group (LERWG) of the Justice Roundtable joined by 44 civil and human rights and faith-based undersigned organizations, write at this most critical time, weeks after a jury found Derek Chauvin guilty of murdering George Floyd, and in the wake of several law enforcement caused fatalities of people of color within less than a month’s time, including Daunte Wright, Adam Toledo, Ma’Khia Bryant, Mario Gonzalez and Andrew Brown Jr., to demand the Senate make meaningful improvements to the House-passed George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (JPA), as a bipartisan group of legislators look to advance a version of the JPA with deliberate speed.
