America has a long, storied history of brutality against Black Americans
with the perpetrators never being held accountable - leaving those
families of victims left behind without any justice.
For decades, hundreds of families have been in a fight for justice for
their family member who was a victim of racial violence. It’s time for
Congress to pass the Victims of Racially Motivated Civil Rights era
Murders and Violence Act immediately and provide these families with
closure, restoration and healing.
The VCMCRMVA would create a Survivors’ fund to provide much needed
trauma informed services, access to financial resources for families to
hire independent legal and investigative support to pursue justice, a
seat at the table when memorials or lasting legacies for victims are
being designed and built, and development funds to generate resources to
support the efforts and initiatives of those families operating
non-profit organizations or entities that are working in social
change/justice and activism.
It’s time to pass legislation that compensates families of the victims of these horrendous crimes.
Yours in the struggle,
