It’s even more critical that we not deploy technologies without a comprehensive understanding of its real world implications. Congress must take up this important matter and develop a bipartisan solution. — PolitiTweet.org

Facial recognition technology is a powerful technology - but we must ensure that it not be used to further erode the trust citizens have in law enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org

Brenda Lawrence @RepLawrence

The civil unrest raging across our nation today and reverberating across the world serves as a powerful reminder of a lack of trust between our people and the law enforcement officers that took an oath to serve us and protect us. https://t.co/SKbQXaRZic — PolitiTweet.org

I want to thank @CVSHealth and @WCCCDistrict for partnering to establish a rapid #COVID19 testing site in the heart of Detroit, allowing even more residents to get tested!

Too many lives have been taken and communities devastated by police brutality and racial profiling. I support the #JusticeinPolicing act to: - Ban chokeholds; - End the use of no-knock warrants; and - Take weapons made for war away from our local police force & off our streets. https://t.co/9QBDHv1G3I — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks 57 years of the #EqualPayAct being signed into law. Over a year ago, House Democrats passed H.R. 7, the Paycheck Fairness Act, to help fulfill the promise of the Equal Pay Act. @senatemajldr must end the partisan obstruction and pass the #PaycheckFairnessAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Industries can use this time to plan green, sustainable, shovel-ready projects, so that Americans looking for work can find stable jobs and provide for their families. A green recovery can lift up frontline communities and provide environmental justice for all. — PolitiTweet.org

https://t.co/ncNM2ikqDS We cannot afford inaction on the overlapping jobs and climate crisis. I am urging my colleagues in Congress to make investments that not only put people back to work, but also puts us on track toward a smart, sustainable future. — PolitiTweet.org

Chief James Craig of the Detroit Police Dept: "Policing needs to change. Police officers should not be involved with handling the mentally ill. We want to focus on those critical issues of keeping our communities safe. We take our funding and put it towards important programs." — PolitiTweet.org

Regarding the Justice in Policing Act and compliance of police departments: In order to receive any federal dollars, you must follow the orders of the bill, you must ban choke holds, etc., and provide adequate training. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re trying to make sure that people can make it back home safe. We need to bring all generations together, not just for the city, for the world. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot achieve the values of “justice for all” until we address the structural inequality and ongoing racism that has long plagued this country. @TheBlackCaucus #JusticeInPolicingAct will begins to address these issues. https://t.co/pq8OBkmOfe — PolitiTweet.org
