The Black Music Action Coalition's has written a letter to President Joe Biden calling for his support of police reform bill the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

The whole world watched. Was it 8 minutes and 46 seconds? Or the updated, and unfathomable, 9 minutes and 29 seconds? Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. The minutes it took to snuff out the life of George Floyd changed the world forever. Outraged and horrified, people from around the globe spilled into the streets with focus, intent, and a clear message: POLICE BRUTALITY AND POLICE MURDER MUST STOP.

We write to you today on behalf of the Black Music Action Coalition . At our recent BMAC Music In Action Awards, we had the great fortune to honor Attorney Ben Crump for his work in fighting for social and racial justice — especially for the families of those who have died at the hands of police. We are compelled to pursue next steps in creating actionable change to the laws governing policing in America.

We, and our fellow music industry advocacy organizations, feel a responsibility to speak up in the face of unavoidable issues like police violence. We cannot simply stand by and conduct business as usual when Black people across the nation are being unjustly executed by those sworn to protect American communities. Songwriters of North America stated, “The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act presents an opportunity for President Biden and our legislators to effect important and historic change.

Considering the never-ending headlines about our brothers and sisters losing their lives at the hands of American police officers, we expect that you will do whatever it takes to support the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, beginning with ensuring that it is brought to the Senate floor for a vote.
