“It falls on all of us, regardless of our race or station, to work together to create a ‘new normal’ in which the legacy of bigotry and unequal treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts.”
More than 80,000 Americans have died and more than 30 million Americans are now unemployed.
Just how many lost lives, lost businesses, lost jobs will it take before Senate Republicans begin to feel the urgency?

Grocery clerks.
Cashiers.
