When police violence takes the life of a beautiful, innocent black man, woman, or child, we also know:

140 million Americans are poor & low-income & thousands are dying every year

80 mil are uninsured or underinsured & thousands are dying

62 mil make less than a living wage
Indeed, we must cry, “Get off our necks!”

Thanks to the family of George Floyd & Rev. Sharpton for this declaration.
We need sweeping changes. The long train of abuses demand it. Too many deaths demand it. And the protests demand it.
Along with comprehensive reconstruction to address systemic racism, we need federal legislation that allows full prosecution for murder & lynching when police abuse power and kill or act as an accessory to the killing.
When the police abuse the power of the state to kill, we demand AIPCI:
Apprehension
Investigation
Prosecution
Conviction
Incarceration
We’re calling on everyone who is demanding systemic justice to join us June 20th online for a Mass Poor People’s Assembly & Moral March on Washington: Digital Justice Gathering: June2020.org
