An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Investigate Suspicious Hanging Deaths in the Deep South

274 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

The families of victims in these suspicious hanging cases deserve answers, and I'm asking you to push for a full, independent investigation into these deaths. A new report covered by The Grio found more than 70 suspected modern-day lynchings in the Deep South since 2000 — cases that were closed too quickly, leaving grieving families with no accountability and no truth. That is not justice. These families have fought for years to be heard. A proper investigation — transparent, independent, and thorough — is the least they are owed. You have the platform and the authority to demand one, and I expect you to use it.
