The Chicago Tribune - Commentary: Sen. Dick Durbin: George Floyd's legacy can -- and should -- be a "future where we can all breathe freely'
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 10, 2020
Tweet - "We cannot call ourselves a land of justice unless we address fundamental issues of racial injustice that plague our nation. That's why @SenateDems & @HouseDemocrats introduced the #JusticeInPolicing Act to create meaningful & much-needed policing reforms & change."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 10, 2020
Tweet - "I'm calling on Sen. McConnell to bring the #JusticeInPolicing Act up for a vote ASAP. We owe it to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, & all of the Black and Brown lives lost to brutal acts of racial injustice to finally bring about justice & accountability to policing."

Sen. Chuck Schumer
June 10, 2020
Tweet - "Our republic can survive a pandemic. It can survive civil unrest. But ideas and deliberation are our foundation. America cannot be America if civil disagreement becomes a contradiction in terms. Anti-speech silencing tactics are a cancer in a free and open society."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 10, 2020
Tweet - "I'll be joining @WindyCityLIVE today at 1 pm CT for a discussion about the Chicago HEAL Initiative and the ongoing, nationwide protests and how a responsible federal government should respond to people crying out for change. Make sure you tune in."

Sen. Chuck Schumer
June 9, 2020
