TODAY's CAIR on Air: Honoring the Legacy of George Floyd (Video)
Today marks one year from the murder of George Floyd by the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department. While Mr. Floyd is no longer with us, his legacy remains. In a landmark ruling, Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering Mr. Floyd, a case many hope will change how police brutality is treated in the courts. The fight still remains to pass the Justice in Policing Act.
CAIR is calling on all Americans to urge their U.S. senators to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (H.R. 1280) in a bipartisan manner before the March 25, the one-year anniversary of his murder by Minneapolis Police Department officers.

"CAIR continues its call on the U.S. Senate to adopt the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act before the one-year anniversary of his murder by Minneapolis Police Department officers," said CAIR Director of Government Affairs Department Robert S. McCaw. "Congress must stand with the Black Lives Matter protesters and honor the many Black victims who have lost their lives to racist police violence. Republican and Democratic lawmakers should not be divided on the issue of qualified immunity, but instead empower Americans to sue the police and other government officials who abuse their authority and violate the civil rights of minorities."
