As Democratic Congressman Stephen Horsford from Nevada and Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, I express my support for young black leaders like Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, who peacefully protest to address the survival and safety of their constituents amidst gun violence.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee has become a new front in the battle for the future of American democracy after Republicans expelled two Black lawmakers from the state Legislature for their part in a protest urging passage of gun-control measures.
I am glad to see the large-scale investments in taking care of our service members in President Biden's FY24 budget by increasing service member compensation, launching Universal pre-kindergarten at all Department of Defense Education Activity schools, and continuing to combat sexual assault and harassment in the services. I believe it is critically important to support policies that ensure our forces can work as a cohesive team and that means addressing disparities that affect our military service members of color and our women service members.
I'm so excited to have a leader like Congressman Maxwell Frost leading on the issues of gun safety. He represents the generation that has been affected the most by gun violence every single day and the mass shootings that have occurred. Because of his legislation and other measures like it, we are going to work hard to keep all of our communities safe. I look forward to sponsoring your bill and helping get it across the finish line.
Achieving transparency in policing should be our top priority to eliminate substandard practices. By working together, we can address the public safety crisis and ensure the well-being of everyone in our community.
As responsible members of our community, we understand the pressing need for a transformation in policing practices. Although this issue affects everyone's safety, it is evident that black and brown communities face a disproportionate impact. We firmly believe that our president has a unique opportunity to take decisive action and appeal to the American public's conscience regarding the importance of transparency, accountability, and high standards in law enforcement.
