A Call for Justice
After the very recent extrajudicial killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and others, the needless killing of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta punctuates the imperative for comprehensive judicial reform in America. Together with hundreds of millions of Americans, we are sick and tired of these killings, and we call on Congress and the White House to take the lead now in ensuring immediate equal justice under law for all Americans, especially African-Americans.
The list below includes email addresses for local, state, and federal government officials. We encourage you to join us in contacting these officials to demand equal justice for African-Americans. In addition, Northwest University will submit an official statement to the White House, to all members of the WA Congressional delegation, to Gov. Inslee, to every member of the WA legislature, to the King County Council, and to the Kirkland City Council.
