Vice President Harris and Congressional Black Caucus Discuss Police Reform

On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris and members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) held a virtual meeting to discuss police reform in America. The meeting was part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to creating meaningful change in policing across the country. Vice President Harris emphasized that real change will only come with action, urging Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. This act is designed to address systemic racism within law enforcement and ensure that officers are held accountable for their actions. The Vice President expressed her gratitude for the CBC’s leadership on this issue, noting that “[they] have been tireless advocates for justice and equality since [their] founding more than 50 years ago.” She also acknowledged that while there is still much work to be done, she believes “we can make progress if we continue working together.” Members of the CBC shared their thoughts on how best to move forward with police reform efforts, highlighting issues such as qualified immunity and no-knock warrants as areas where they believe changes need to be made. They also discussed how technology can be used as a tool for accountability and transparency within law enforcement agencies. The Vice President concluded by saying that she is hopeful about what can be accomplished when everyone works together towards a common goal. She encouraged all Americans to join her in supporting these efforts so that “we can build a future where everyone feels safe and respected in their communities."
