Today, we saw Accountability delivered on behalf of George Floyd who was murdered by a Minneapolis Police officer. This verdict marks a profound moment in history when we saw Our Life Matters. Our heartfelt prayers are extended to the family of George Floyd, although, we hope this verdict brings them peace it doesn’t return George Floyd.

We still have significant work to do. It is imperative that we continue to fight for all those who have not received Justice and ensure zero tolerance for excessive use of force for future generations. I implore our elected officials vote on police accountability legislation Federally and across the nation in each state!
