      .@vanitaguptaCR: While the recent murder of George Floyd at the hands of 4 Minneapolis police officers put the issue of police brutality in the national spotlight, the outpouring of pain is anything but a reaction to one isolated incident or the misconduct of a few ‘bad apples.’

          .@vanitaguptaCR: There is no returning to normal. We have to create a new way forward – one that does more than tinker at the edges, but truly transforms policing and leads to more accountability for communities. It is imperative that we get this right. #JusticeInPolicing

          .@vanitaguptaCR: Under both Sessions & Barr, DOJ has abdicated its responsibility & abandoned use of tools like pattern & practice investigations & consent decrees. Instead, it’s focused on dismantling police accountability efforts & halting new investigations. #JusticeInPolicing

          .@vanitaguptaCR: In the absence of federal leadership, we launched the New Era of Public Safety initiative as well as a report & toolkit outlining proposals to build trust between communities and police departments, restore confidence, and imagine a new paradigm of public safety.pic.twitter.com/lArDPWuK3Q

          .@vanitaguptaCR: Success will also require the leadership, support, and commitment of the federal government, including Congress. Last week, @civilrightsorg & 400+ groups wrote to Congress offering critical proposals that would move us forward on the path to true accountability.pic.twitter.com/sLlOJNt8Yq

          .@vanitaguptaCR: @civilrightsorg was pleased to learn that the #JusticeInPolicing Act, introduced Monday by members of both the House & Senate, reflects much of this accountability framework. As it advances, we will continue to work to improve it & ensure real change is achieved.

          .@vanitaguptaCR: Policing reform alone is not going to solve the crisis we are in today. This moment of reckoning requires leaders, together with communities, to envision a new paradigm for public safety that respects the human rights of all people. #JusticeInPolicing

          .@vanitaguptaCR: This moment requires we envision a new public safety paradigm that respects human rights of all. It means not just changing policing practices & culture, but shrinking the footprint of the criminal legal system, including police, in Black & Brown people’s lives.

          .@vanitaguptaCR: It means shifting our approach to public safety away from exclusive investments in criminalization & policing, and toward investments in economic opportunity, education, health care & more. This approach not only furthers equity, but constitutes effective policy.

          .@vanitaguptaCR: Now is the time for Congress to pass lasting accountability measures and embrace principles of fairness, equity, procedural justice, legitimacy & transparency. We look forward to working with you until the day these reforms are signed into law. #JusticeInPolicing
