End Citizens United // Let America Vote Action Fund President Tiffany Muller released the following statement on the Justice in Policing Act introduced by House and Senate Democrats today:
“Over the past two weeks, millions of Americans have stood up to demand an end to the systemic racism that plagues our criminal justice system, and to the lack of accountability for police violence against Black people. The Justice in Policing Act introduced today is an important step toward police accountability. We applaud Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Congressional Black Caucus Chair Bass, Chairman Nadler, and Senators Booker and Harris for their leadership on this important issue. Congress should act quickly to take up and pass this bill.
“Our democracy works best when every American feels safe and secure in their communities, those in power can be held accountable for their actions, and we’re able to work together to create a fairer, more just future.”
