Pope Francis: Meet with victims of police violence
During his US visit in September 2015, Pope Francis can lend his moral authority to the critical issues of criminalization and police violence. Pope Francis, please meet with victims of police violence and to address this critical issue as part of your public statements.
Why is this important?
The highest incarceration rate in the world and police violence against Black communities are some of the most pressing issues facing American society today.
During Pope Francis's 2015 US tour, we urge him to meet with the victims of criminalization and police violence in the Black community, as organized by the US Human Rights Network and other organizations to hear their stories and amplify their voices.
We implore Pope Francis to lend his moral authority to this critical issue by speaking out against police violence in low-income Black communities across the US.
