JE Dunn is an equal opportunity employer
record indicates that as Attor-
ney General he would obstruct
the growing national bipartisan
movement toward criminal jus-
tice reform. His record indicates
that we cannot count on him to
support state and national efforts
toward bringing justice to a jus-
tice system that people on both
sides of the aisle readily admit is
biased against the poor, drug ad-
dicted, mentally ill, and people of
color. His record indicates that at
a time when even the FBI director
is speaking out about implicit ra-
cial bias in policing and the need
to address it; at a time when the
last two Attorneys General have
taken steps to fix our broken crim-
inal justice system; and at a time
when the Justice Department he
would lead has uncovered system-
ic abuses in police departments all
over the United States including
Ferguson, including Newark; Sen-
ator Sessions would not continue
to lead urgently needed change .
. . Challenges of race in America
cannot be addressed if we refuse
to confront them. Persistent bias-
es cannot be defeated unless we
combat them. The arc of the uni-
verse does not just naturally curve
toward justice — we must bend
it.”
I’m deeply grateful to Senator
Booker and Congressman Lewis
for their extraordinary testimony
and moral leadership. At the end of
his statement Congressman Lewis
said, “Leadership is not easy. You
are expected to make tough deci-
sions — to do what is right, what
is just, and what is fair for all the
people of this nation who rely on
you to speak up and speak out on
their behalf.” They spoke on behalf
of the majority, millions of Amer-
icans, who are afraid of a new on-
slaught of attempts to push the arc
of our nation away from justice
— and seek leaders vigilant and
determined to keep fighting every
step of the way to make America
a better and fairer nation. As we
celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.
Day we all should find the cour-
age to honor him by standing up
for what is right to stop a senator
who has fought against racial jus-
tice over a lifetime from becoming
the nation’s chief law enforcement
voice. That’s like putting the fox
in charge of the chicken coop.
