Senate: Pass the George Floyd Act!

The recent conviction of Derek Chauvin is just a continuation of our overdue national reckoning with police violence and racial justice. In Congress, there is renewed momentum to pass the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021”. The House has already passed this legislation. Now, you can urge your Senators to take similar action.

For sixty years, Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 142 countries, engaging with citizens in the spirit of peace and progressive development. But peace and progress cannot be fully attained without justice here and abroad. Our work on these critical matters overseas loses its potential if we don’t address similar issues here at home.

This letter writing action allows you to edit your message. Please feel free to share your personal experiences and put in your own words why it is essential that we pass the George Floyd Act now!

Please note that available prefix options for letters to members of Congress are determined and required by legislative offices, not NPCA.

Dear [[Recipient's Title and Name]]:

I write to urge you to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (H.R. 1280) as the next, critical legislative step towards addressing unrelenting police violence directed against people and communities of color across the nation.
 
I write to you as an individual who proudly served our nation in the Peace Corps. As volunteers living and working at the community level, we are invariably asked about life in the United States by our hosts, students and counterparts. As the next generation of Peace Corps Volunteers begin to be redeployed in the months to come, they will no doubt face questions about the continued unrest in our country.
 
It is my hope that when asked that question, our future volunteers will be able to speak sincerely about our nation's ongoing struggle with structural inequalities, but also speak to our efforts to build a more just and equitable society. Passage of H.R. 1280 is the right thing to do, for justice here at home, and for U.S. standing around the world. 
 
Please do everything you can to pass this legislation without delay.
