Statement “The video released this week of Chicago police officers raiding the home of Anjanette Young for absolutely no reason, then casually telling her to relax as she stood naked, terrified and terrorized was horrific and haunting. Police ignored her cries and refused to provide answers about why they burst so violently into her home. They initially refused even to show her paperwork to explain why they were there. They ignored Young, as if she was insignificant and unworthy of a response, when she said over and over that ‘this can’t be right.’

Statement “In North Carolina and throughout our country, we have the right to make our voices heard and our votes count. The march in Graham today was peaceful and was designed to get out the vote. It included public officials, kicked off at a house of worship, and included a moment of silence for George Floyd. That is North Carolina, and America, at our best. There was no excuse for police to attack marchers, including children, moms, seniors, and people with disabilities.

This country will not tolerate police murders of people of color, day after day after day.
