How would the lives of patients on organ donation waiting lists, especially patients of color, improve if OPOs were required to operate under these higher standards?

I would rather hear solutions from OPOs than excuses.

Black and Brown patients are more likely to suffer from illnesses like kidney failure and less likely to get an organ transplant.

This issue is literally a matter of life or death. I came to Congress to save lives because too many of my neighbors, my loved ones, and my community members are dying because of broken systems and broken processes.

Mr. Miller, instead of sitting on massive piles of cash, shouldn't OPOs be deploying that money to train staff on outreach?

We got to see that play out in this trial.

I`m here to legislate to save Black lives because Black lives are -- like, there is this huge problem in our country where Black lives are always targeted.

I want people to do their jobs and do it right and be held accountable in everything that they do.

In 2021, we are still rising up, demanding that our voices be heard.

Many of these so-called election integrity laws that are currently making their way through State legislatures are measured--they have been shown to suppress minority turnout.

We must address these historic injustices by ending our reliance on fossil fuels.

Just this week, I put forward a bill that would invest $1 trillion in the Green New Deal for cities, towns, counties, and Tribes.

They were bloodied and beaten and brutalized in the movement to protect and affirm our sacred right to vote.

Republicans have passed unnecessary and restrictive voter ID laws and a notary requirement to deny Black people and Brown people and people living in poverty access to the ballot box.

In the words of the late Congressman John Lewis, when you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, and you have to speak up, you have to say something, you have to do something.

Our right to vote is the foundation of our democracy. The right to vote is our instrument for change.

This egregious murder that happened, we can call it murder now, this agree just murder that happened. It should not be that it has to look like that in order for us to have some type of semblance of what people call justice. This was…

Today was -- we saw accountability happen. Today, we saw what we’ve been wanting to see every single time, you know, one of us is murdered at the hands of police.

We have to quit giving the police the pass at every dang thing. Let`s start with that. They don`t get a pass at every single thing because their job is to protect and serve.

The George Floyd Act, is it enough? Will it become law, in your view? I believe it will become law. I know we need to add some things. That`s just one piece of legislation, you know, that is the start.

True justice means that it would have meant that George Floyd would still be alive.

We want to save black lives in every single way we can.

They don’t get a pass at every single thing because their job is to protect and serve.

I believe it will become law. I know we need to add some things. That’s just one piece of legislation, you know, that is the start.

There should not be any good cops and bad cops. Why is that a discussion?
