Pass the Justice in Policing Act with No Weakening Amendments
Racial equity and police reform were big priorities of FAN's legislative
agenda and continue to inform our congressional advocacy. As we turn our attention to bills in
Congress, we lift up the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (JPA) HR
1280 - Congresswoman Karen Bass is the prime sponsor. This bill
has passed the House and is now almost completely negotiated by Sen's
Scott and Booker - it includes a ban on chokeholds except in life
emergency situations, sets stricter standards on no-knock warrants, and
limits the transfer of some military equipment to local law enforcement
agencies.
Take Action today to urge Senators Murray and Cantwell to pass the Justice in Policing Act (JPA) HR 1280 with no weakening amendments.
