The nation is commemorating one year since George Floyd was murdered by a former Minneapolis police and the sparking protests nationwide.

The Floyd family will meet with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Congressmember Karen Bass (D-CA)

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.
