Members of the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus, along with U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, gathered on the steps of the State House June 2 to advocate for police reform in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.

“For too long, black and brown bodies have been profiled, surveilled, policed, lynched, choked, brutalized and murdered at the hands of police officers,” said Pressley.

Pressley’s resolution calls on the House to condemn police brutality, racial profiling and excessive use of force.

At the state level, Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus Chairman Carlos Gonzalez advocated for the passage of four bills.

The ACLU has reported that Massachusetts is one out of only six states without some kind of system to license police officers.
