Washington CeaseFire stands united with the black community and with people peacefully protesting the tragic killings of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. Their deaths, and those before them, highlight the continued plight of millions of people of color in our country who suffer from injustices and violence on a daily basis.  We support the need to reform our policing policies, and acknowledge that racial prejudice is, unfortunately, alive and flourishing in our country. As is the case with gun violence prevention, only by working together as a community, and facing the challenge head-on, will we bring much-needed reform to our country and society.  Together we stand and together we can reduce racial prejudice and gun violence!
