Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the following statement:
“Pennsylvanians and people across our Nation are angry, sad, tired and desperate for change. As leaders, we must recognize this pain. As a Commonwealth and country, we must raise our voices and call for justice in a system that has, for too long, turned a blind eye to the injustice. We can and we must reform these systems and hold those accountable who abuse them.
As Pennsylvanians protest not only for the murder of George Floyd, but the decades of injustice and oppression that came before it, I urge all involved to be peaceful and to keep each other safe. We should not let these demonstrations eclipse their purpose.
I see you. I hear you. And I stand with you, side-by-side, in our shared values of making our Commonwealth and our country a more just and equal system for all.”
