Attorneys Ben Crump, Antonio Romanucci and L. Chris Stewart Issue Statement on House Passage of George Floyd Justice in Policing Act

Nationally renowned civil rights attorneys Ben Crump, Antonio Romanucci and L. Chris Stewart released the following statement on the passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act by the U.S. House of Representatives:

”On behalf of the family of George Floyd, we are deeply gratified and grateful for the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives in passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, responding to the mandate issued by thousands of Americans who took to the streets last summer to raise their voices for change. This represents a major step forward to reform the relationship between police officers and communities of color and impose accountability on law enforcement officers whose conscious decisions preserve the life or cause the death of Americans, including so many people of color. Now we urge the Senate to follow suit and move this important legislation to President Biden.”
