[LWVNM Action] LWVUS Resolution on Racial Justice

[Richard Mason]

These are the 2 actionable resolutions. We know there will be at least one
bill that will be coming up in the next session that we may support based
upon these resolutions.

Dick Mason

*RACIAL JUSTICE FOR BLACK PEOPLE AND ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR, p. 2*
8.* Motion #136 - *We Resolve First, That the League advocates against
systemic racism
in the justice system and, at a minimum, for preventing excessive force and
brutality by
law enforcement. We also call for prompt actions by all League members to
advocate
within every level of government to eradicate systemic racism, and the harm
that it
causes; and,
9. *Motion #139* - We Resolve Second, That the League help our elected
officials and all
Americans recognize these truths to be self-evident; that Black, Indigenous
and all
people of color (BIPOC)viii deserve equal protection under the law; and
that we demand
solutions for the terrible wrongs done, so that regardless of race,
ethnicity, religion,
disability, and gender identity or sexual orientation we may truly become a
nation
“indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”viii.
