Stand with Gov. Dayton and #BlackLivesMatter

Governor Dayton is under attack for speaking the truth: The data speak to a racial bias in police killings with people of color being killed at a rate disproportionate to their percentage of the population. Please support the governor's assertion and urge my your Minnesota state legislators to support police reform.

Why is this important?

Governor Dayton said, "Would this have happened if those passengers and the driver were white? I don’t think it would’ve."
I represent St. Paul, and I've worked with the community on many issues, including criminal justice issues. When our leaders speak truth to power, it is essential that morally conscious citizens stand up to support them. People of color are killed by police disproportionally. The time for reform is now. We need a cultural shift within the nation's police departments, and we can start today with the state of Minnesota. Lend your support today and sign this petition. Thank you.
