We mourn with the families of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Tony McDade, and countless others whose lives were stolen by state sanctioned police violence. We stand with Black communities reeling from the devastation of two pandemics—COVID-19 and racism. We support Black-led movements around the country by echoing the call to divest from policing and reinvest in Black communities.
We will not be silent at this pivotal moment in the movement. Today, and everyday, we are amplifying comrades who are doing powerful work and need your support. We are also sharing resources to assist with an anti-racist education. We won’t stop until Black lives are protected.
We're collaborating with organizations around the country to challenge the deplorable conditions in jails in light of COVID-19. Each day, the situation becomes more and more urgent for the people trapped in cages in the middle of this global pandemic. Crowded conditions make social distancing impossible, a lack of access to soap and cleaning supplies makes basic hygiene difficult, and inadequate medical attention leaves people with preexisting conditions at even greater risk. We've pulled together a round-up of all of our COVID-19 legal challenges.
