The Pledge to #EndPoliceViolence

Current police strategies are not working and have led to fear and distrust in communities. Excessive police violence including sexual assault, fatal police shootings AND banned restraint techniques that take the lives of people of color must end. Focusing on individual ‘bad apple,’ police officers has not led to real change, because justice requires that the entire system must be reformed. The federal government provides billions of dollars in resources annually to law enforcement agencies and such support must come with guidance and accountability.

The campaigns of Cori Bush, congressional candidate in the 1st district of Missouri and Anthony Clark, former congressional candidate in the 7th district of Illinois, are committed to ending police violence that continues to plague communities of color. These campaigns challenge elected officials, candidates for office and every day citizens to sign the pledge and publicly commit to ending police violence and better protecting marginalized communities.
