June's letters will be directed to our two U.S. Senators seeking support for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021. The bill (HR 1280) passed in the House of Representatives in March and has not yet been introduced in the Senate. The bill would set federal standards for the use of force, bar choke holds and no-knock warrants, limit the transfer of military equipment to domestic police departments, and make lynching a federal crime.
Please read and consider signing, commenting on, and mailing the letters. We can use our voices in this way to put our faith into action for justice and less taking of human life.
Letters, envelopes, and stamps will be available in our churches after Masses.
