Georgia Equality joins the Equality Federation and its undersigned member organizations to stand in solidarity with our partner OutFront Minnesota in condemning the senseless murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. George Floyd was murdered while he was handcuffed and other officers looked on just two blocks from OutFront Minnesota’s office. This is unconscionable and should not have happened.

George Floyd’s murder and the murders of too many Black people at the hands of police are the consequence of a willful lack of action on racism and police brutality in America by those in power at the local and national levels. These injustices are unacceptable and we demand that those in power do better. In addition, we call on the LGBTQ community to join in the national day of mourning and action organized by the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression: https://naarpr.org/updates/cities-join-the-call-for-national-day-of-protest/ or other local events organized by Black-led community organizations.
