Washington, D.C. — The American Sustainable Business Council is
relieved that Derek Chauvin has been held accountable for the
murder of George Floyd. Our prayer is that this will bring some
small measure of peace and comfort for Mr. Floyd’s family, as we
wish the best for them and the friends of Mr. Floyd.
But this should be a beginning, not an end. Holding police
accountable should not be a singular event. Achieving justice
must not be a special occasion. We must take the next step to
assuring, as Mr. Floyd’s daughter stated, that he truly “changed
the world.”
We renew our call for the Senate to mark this moment by passing
the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to assure equal justice,
not just for George Floyd in this moment, but for all people for
all time.
