Posted April 21, 2021 in Press Releases ”We join countless people across the country in expressing our relief that a jury found Derek Chauvin guilty on all charges. George Floyd was a beloved father, son, brother and friend. The right verdict will never bring back him or the many others killed by law enforcement, but hopefully it will help restore some measure of trust in the government’s ability to care for all people, regardless of our race or where we’re from. “But even on a day that should mark some progress toward justice and accountability, a Columbus police officer shot and killed a 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant. In spite of it all, Ma’Khia had faith that police would be there for her and reportedly called them seeking help. Today, there’s another gaping hole in a family and in a community. We all have so much work to do.
