TAKE THE PL EDGE WORKSHOPS BECOME AN MBK COMMUN I TY
The killings of George Floyd, Breanna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the loss of far too many Black lives to list, have left our nation anguished and outraged.
More than 1,000 people are killed by police every year in America, and Black peop le are three times more likely to be killed than White people. We can take steps and make reforms to combat police violence and systemic racism within law enforcemen t. Together, we can work to rede fine public safety so that it recognizes the human ity and dignity of every person.
Mayors and other City Council officials are uniquely positioned to introduce common-sense limits on police use of force. That's why the My Brother's Keeper Alliance is calling on mayors to commit to the following actions:
1. REVIEW your police use of force policies.
2. ENGAGE your comm unities by including a diverse range of input, experiences, and stories in your review.
3. REPORT the findings of your review to your comm unity and seek feedback.
4. REFORM your commu nity's police use of force policies.
Everyone can support this effort- and we hope that individuals across the country will take action to urge their mayors to take these steps for change.
