TELL OUR SENATORS TO PASS HR1280 [HR7120] "The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act"
Why this petition matters
READ // SIGN // & SPREAD THE WORD!
THIS PETITION :
This is the ONLY equality-before-policing bill sitting with Senate.
THOUGH INSPIRED BY GEORGE FLOYD -- THIS IS A **NON-RACIAL** set of regulations to close loopholes and make sure our police force nationwide abides by The United States of America standards of humanity.
ORIGINATED BY KAREN BASS to end Racial Abuse THE JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT ADDS CLAUSES TO THE USA POLICE FORCE SO ALL POLICE MEMBERS NATIONWIDE ABIDE BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA's STANDARDS OF HUMANITY.
SCROLL FOR DETAILS.
It has survived another term -
and needs the Senate to clear so we can vote on. (It passed the House!!)
SIGN TO PUSH SENATE FORWARD.
THIS JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT REQUIRES :
make * RACIAL PROFILING * ILLEGAL,
CAMERAS ON ALL NATIONAL COPS,
make CHOKEHOLDS ILLEGAL IN ALL STATES
HOLD COPS *LEGALLY* RESPONSIBLE NATIONWIDE (closes state loopholes),
...
AND MORE - all outlined in the law link itself (*4)
BUT -
The UNITED STATES SENATE IS **SITTING** ON IT .. UNTIL IT DISAPPEARS. The arguing & party disagreements in the SENATE are being used to make this act go nowhere.
STRIKES * without * creating laws lead to = nothing.
SIGN // SHARE THIS PETITION REQUESTING THE UNITED STATES SENATE TO CLEAR THIS BILL -- THEN THE AMERICAN PUBLIC CAN VOTE ON IT.
-----> EXTRA SUPPORT : YOU CAN ALSO WRITE YOUR SENATORS DIRECTLY. SEE *1 AT BOTTOM OF PAGE.
" Black Americans account for less than 13% of the U.S population but are killed by police at more than DOUBLE the rate of white Americans. " (reference *2 at bottom of page)
WHAT THIS BILL DOES :
"To hold law enforcement accountable for misconduct in court, improve transparency through data collection, and reform police training and policies." (reference *3 at bottom of page)
-----> H.R.1280 (previously known as the HR7120) JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT IS CURRENTLY GIVEN A NO-CHANCE OF PASSING . . BECAUSE OF THE SENATE * ARGUING * AND * SITTING * ON ALL PREVIOUS SUGGESTIONS FOR EQUALITY AMONG POLICING until they expire. (*3 at bottom of page).
DON'T LET THESE DEATHS JUST BE A MERRY-GO-ROUND OF ETERNAL INJUSTICE ...
MAKE POLICING COMPLETELY REACH U.S.A.'S STANDARDS OF HUMANITY.
NOT ONE PROPOSITION on NOV 2020's BALLOT
WAS FOR
EQUALITY BEFORE POLICE.. after all those strikes and deaths. BUT -- THE H.R.7120, now "HR1280" JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT DOES STILL EXIST. Strikes without laws = nothing. Let's make this a law.
