“Alphonso was a young, Black labor leader from the South who understood the struggles of working-class families and dedicated his life to advancing economic and social justice. For more than 25 years with the SEIU, including serving as president since 2010, he fought tirelessly for union members, securing important victories and inspiring countless workers to stand together in solidarity. He understood that the true power of our communities rests in the hands of working people united with a common purpose.”

“when I first heard about this bill, I thought it was very interesting that my Republican colleagues had this newfound conviction in helping to prevent law enforcement doing bad things to people and working to de-escalate law enforcement. I am someone who has been a victim of the abuse of law enforcement, and I just haven't heard my colleagues ever talk about it. I came at this bill skeptically when I looked at it. It turns out the bill itself was pretty much written by a corporation, Axon, that wants to sell a new type of taser.”
