“We Call For …” Justice Reform
The Urban League Movement has proposed specific recommendations for police reform and accountability. These include the widespread use of body cameras and dashboard cameras, revision of use-of-force policies, officer training, and hiring standards, and the immediate appointment of independent prosecutors to investigate police misconduct.
But even more than these measures, we need a revision of our culture. 
As we pursue these measures to reform the police in our communities, we call upon all community leaders, elected officials, corporate leaders, and social institutions to join us in pursuing policies that promote racial reconciliation.
