Feel free to copy, share, use… and thank you for fighting for a more just world.

Good morning Selectwoman Kupchick and Chief Lyddy,

Thank you for coming, and for sending along remarks, to last evening’s vigil where we gathered to mourn the loss of black lives at the hands of police.

I wanted to follow up on Judge Stevens’s suggestion that Fairfield take President Obama’s pledge to address police use of force policies here in Fairfield. As the judge mentioned, and as I tried to help us understand by signing rather than singing, words without action are not enough.

The link for the pledge is here: https://www.obama.org/mayor-pledge/

I am happy to help engage the community if you are interested in hearing opinions on this matter, whether they be virtual or distanced events.

Please consider the anti-racist actions you can take following your spoken words last evening.

Thank you,

Kristen Graves
