BIVN Statement on the Death of George Floyd

The Black Independent Voter Network mourns the death of George Floyd and all those have died unjustly by the hands of law enforcement. These incidents have shown again that Black lives do not matter. We demand for swift justice for the police officers involved and police reform starts immediately.

The sad truth is politicians from the Democratic and Republican parties continue to give lip service and no action to make changes. We need to remove our elected officials from both major political parties because they no longer serve the people. We need alternative political choices to vote for that will support transformative policy solutions to eradicate racism at all levels of our society.
