Denounce Trump's War on Police Reform

Donald Trump’s Justice Department just took a sledgehammer to police accountability, days before the fifth anniversary of the murder of George Floyd.

Trump’s DOJ is tearing up reform agreements with Louisville and Minneapolis, cities that became national symbols of outrage after the police killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. These court-enforced consent decrees were created to stop violent, racist policing. Now Trump’s scrapping them.

We need to build pressure on Trump and Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s civil rights division, who lead the charge to abandon these reforms. We must show them that we’ll hold them accountable if they don’t reinstate these necessary, common sense consent decrees.

The DOJ’s actions are an assault on justice. They give a green light for police departments to go back to business as usual—with zero federal oversight.

City leaders in Minneapolis say they’ll keep pushing reforms, but without DOJ enforcement, there’s no guarantee of real change. Trump’s team calls consent decrees “federal overreach”—but we know the truth: this is about protecting power, not people.

We can’t let this happen. We must fight back now—before more communities lose the oversight they need and deserve.

Tell Trump and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon: “Reinstate the consent decrees and hold police departments accountable for violating civil rights.”
