From the National Council of Churches (http://www.ncccusa.org):
George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Walter Scott. Michael Brown. This list of unarmed blacks killed by police continues to grow. More must be done to not only hold the killers responsible but to stop the killing before it happens.
Civil rights and faith based organizations are working together to ensure that transformative change happens. These changes include setting a national standard for use of force as a last resort, ending the program that provides military equipment to police departments, and banning chokeholds and other restraints that restrict oxygen flow to the brain.
Please take action now at http://nationalcouncilofchurches.us/action-alerts/ and tell your representative that only significant, transformative change can begin to address the U.S. epidemic of police violence.
