Black Lives Movement
End qualified immunity for police officers and departments that violate Americans’ constitutional rights.
The House and Senate are debating the Justice In Policing Act 2020. We need an end to qualified immunity.
The bill also put more money into police departments instead of in Community initiatives. We need to redirect funds and prioritize investment in community health, education, and housing.
Background: Why we need to End Qualified Immunity For PolIce Officers
According to a National Academy of Sciences study black men are two-and-a-half times more likely to be killed by law enforcement over their lifetime than white men. Over the course of their lives, approximately one in every 1,000 black men can expect to be killed by police.
According to Reuters , at least 529 federal circuit court opinions published from 2005 through 2019 involving cops accused of excessive force raised a qualified immunity defense.

Why This Matters:
The fight for justice is universal. Black Lives Matter represents a global call to address the systemic racism and violence that Black communities face daily. At Justice For All, we stand in unwavering solidarity with this movement because justice cannot be selective, and silence is complicity.
Across the United States and beyond, countless lives have been lost and dreams shattered because of entrenched racial injustice. This struggle isn’t just about isolated incidents of police brutality—it’s about dismantling deeply rooted systems of oppression and inequality.
By standing with BLM, we affirm the fundamental principle that every human being deserves dignity, safety, and the opportunity to thrive. We recognize that the fight for Black lives is interconnected with our broader mission of justice for marginalized and oppressed communities everywhere. When we stand up for the most vulnerable, we stand up for humanity itself.
