Today, we remember Emmett Till, whose brutal killing 69 years ago ignited the Civil Rights Movement. His legacy lives on through the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, a powerful step toward justice. We honor his memory by continuing the fight against hate and racism.

This an impressive display of staying power and organizing. As the interview states, it entailed four decades of work & constant pressure. The funding goes to 45k recipients contacted through 130k post cards, 60 meetings lasting 3-3.5 hours each to fill out a 40-page application.

“After Serpico in the head, his partners told dispatchers that shots had been fired but never relayed that Serpico was wounded”

INTERESTING:
the term “Serpico Effect” is used to describe a situation where the whistleblower who exposes wrongdoing within an organization, faces hate and even danger from their colleagues or superiors.👍🏼🙏🏼
Happy WB Day.

Sonya Massey deserved to be safe.
The disturbing footage released yesterday confirms what we know from the lived experiences of so many — we have much work to do to ensure that our justice system fully lives up to its name.
President Biden and I call on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a bill that I coauthored in the Senate. We must come together to achieve meaningful reforms that advance the safety of all communities.

Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy, and we cannot let him win. I’m in Madison, Wisconsin talking to folks about what’s at stake in this election. Tune in. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1eaKbgjPb…
“When there is a true legal conflict, we approve independent counsel… We have separate lawyers for the CRB and MNPD, and they represent their respective clients zealously.” Note: The MOU was still sent to Wally Dietz for review and he sent it to MNPD.

We know parts of the law if not all can be challenged? We have some great legal minds out there. I refuse to accept an unjust law that was written specific to Nashville and against mostly Black people.

One interesting note about the debate is that the Nashville police department has no problem w/Metro Legal representing both MNPD and the CRB. Why would a client be okay with this 2-sided arrangement unless that client (MNPD) is the beneficiary of it.
