Today, I released a message to Nevadans addressing the recent protests over the senseless killing of George Floyd & the systematic racism & injustice Black & minority communities face, which stem from generations of inequality. You can watch it here:https://youtu.be/4EUY2zm3f7M

As Governor of Nevada, it is my duty to speak out on behalf of all Nevadans, but particularly those who may not otherwise have a voice that is being heard.

Here’s what I can commit to you. I will no longer be party to a system that dictates how minority communities should express their First Amendment right to protest, or their human right to grieve.

I look forward to meaningful dialogue that leads to real change. I also look forward to signing legislation next session that comes from these conversations.

For those who will be out on our streets asking to be seen and heard, I thank you. Please do so safely and lawfully. We know that in at least a few instances, outside agitators have coopted your events to advance their own agendas. Know that we are aware of this.

To our law enforcement officers, I ask that you be patient, compassionate, & sympathetic. Law enforcement needs to play a critical role in helping our community heal & forging stronger partnerships with those you serve & for those of you who have already begun, thank you.

We have to challenge ourselves to not get defensive & to really listen. I call on all Nevadans to seize this moment to ask themselves, “what can we do to fully respect and understand the very deep and very real emotional harm that’s been done to our Black community members?”

For me, it will start with listening and will end with action. But it will take all of us. Nevadans come together when we need each other most. We band together to mourn with each other, support each other, and cheer for each other.

Let’s love one another, as we work through these hard times. There is no doubt that if we do that, we will come out stronger. Thank you!
