WATCH: CAIR Marks Anniversary of George Floyd’s Killing by Unveiling Black Lives Matter Banner on Capitol Hill Headquarters in DC
CAIR’s banner contains the names of those who have died at the hands of police and in the struggle for civil rights, including Emmett Till, Medgar Evers, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, Breonna Taylor, and many others. It will also call on members of Congress to support, co-sponsor and adopt the Justice in Policing Act to address continuing police killings of unarmed Black Americans like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. The bill is in response to nationwide #BlackLivesMatter protests seeking an end to systemic police racism, violence, misconduct, and abuse of authority. |
