We hold the family of Tyre Nichols in our love and prayers in this time of devastating grief and loss. In June 2020 we denounced “the inherent violence of policing. Three years later, we continue to be confronted with these truths about systemic brutality.
Policing and law enforcement continues to be fundamentally broken—we need a system that recognizes the humanity of all people at its foundation. The death of Tyre Nichols is a reminder that violence faced by Black people at the hands of law enforcement continues to be pervasive.
As UUs, we are in solidarity with the Black leaders, organizers, and community members fighting for justice and for the systematic changes that will end police violence. This is an urgent moral crisis. We need to fundamentally reimagine public safety. We must take action now.
