To advocate against racial injustices creating hardships for communities of color, Assistant Majority Leader Iris Y. Martinez (D-Chicago) joined members of the Illinois Black and Latino Coalition at a rally Thursday and released the following statement:
“In memory of the many lives tragically lost and affected by racial violence, I stand in strong support of introducing and enacting meaningful reform to further protect black and brown lives from police brutality, racial profiling and other discriminatory acts people have grown too accustomed to. In order to condemn racism in its many forms, we must be united to invoke change in our broken economic, health care and criminal justice systems.”
