“As the protesters in every state of the Union have made clear, now is the time to transform the way we guarantee fair and safe public safety in this country.
In no uncertain terms, 45’s Executive Order fails to meet the magnitude of the moment.
Like all of the supposed policy initiatives coming from this Administration, this Executive Order accomplishes little despite being marketed as the catch-all solution for institutional racism.
Unlike the EO, the Justice in Policing Act will provide the framework for a reimagination of public safety that holds all bad actors accountable and protects Black and brown communities from the horrors of over-policing, racial profiling, and police brutality.”
