The Council of Minnesotans of African Heritage (the Council) wants to thank Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Betty McCollum, Sen. Tina Smith, Sen. Amy Klobuchar for co-sponsoring the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020. It is a comprehensive approach to police accountability and would change the culture of law enforcement, while empowering our communities. The House of Representatives passed the Justice in Policing Act with a bipartisan vote on June 25th. We sincerely hope to see the Senate do the same.
