We are have present with us here.
The family of George Floyd and
some of their dear friends.
We have Rodney Floyd.
We have felonious Floyd.
We have Terrence Floyd.
We have Brandon Williams.
Obviously we have this little Angel.
Her mother rocks is here with Giani.
We have domenican. We
have Dominique and William who are close
personal friends as well present here.
Briefly, the brothers will address you,
the president, and the vice president
met with the family for over an hour.
They're going to tell you some
things that happened in that meeting.
I know the president was very personal
because he got to know this family
over the years and he wanted to.
Check on them on today of all
days to see how they were doing.
To reiterate that they are still.
Doing everything to make sure that his
legacy is respected and that involves
us going to meet with senators in
just a few moments to continue to
press forward for the George Floyd
Justice and Policing Act that he
says he is ready to sign any day.
He said that he doesn't want to sign a
bill that doesn't have substance and
meaning so he is going to be patient
to make sure it's the right bill,
not a rush bill. Also.
The family encourage the president to
continue to meet with the civil rights
leaders and advocacy groups who have
been working on this for decades.
Like Reverend Al and the NAACP and the
National Urban League and many others.
So with that I will present to
you for Lowness Floyd.
How you doing?
I'm doing great just.
We made with the President and the VP.
It was just for the remembrance
of what happened to my brother,
'cause this was his day that he was. Murder.
It was great. He's a genuine guy.
They always speak from the heart and.
Is a pleasure just to be able to
have the chance to meet with him
when we have that opportunity to do?
Just thankful for what's going on
and we just want discharge for police
and act to be passed in the future.
No, because this this thing if you can
make federal laws to protect the bird,
which is the bald eagle you can make for
better allows to protect people of color.
What about the fact that you
don't have that now? We will
have his brother Rodney Floyd.
How you guys doing today is
about the remembrance of our
brother George Floyd father.
Uncle friend, cousin. And Mr.
President and vice president,
gave us their condolence and just keeping up,
touching back on what happened last year,
reiterating everything they ask
us how we were doing or we do we
need or we take care of ourselves?
Healthy counseling and access out about
how we feel in what's going on about today.
About our brother.
And we thankful that they
showed great concern. Anne.
Now you were here from Terrance floor.
We may take one or two questions at the end.
Maybe hello everyone hello hello.
You know, being here today is an
honor you know to meet with the
president and vice president and.
Very productive of conversation
and I'm grateful for it.
I thank everybody for the love.
Thank you. And
now you will hear from Brandon Williams,
the nephew of George Florida,
who was like a son to him.
How are y'all doing?
I'm great, I think it
was a very great meeting.
We're very appreciative and
grateful that the President,
Vice President, invited us here.
I think that the meeting went well.
He showed concerned an,
I think genuinely wants to
know exactly how we were doing.
And on what he could do to support us.
And he did let us know that
he supports passing the bill,
but he wants to make sure that it's
the right building, not a rush bill.
He also said that he said that deadline.
He's not happy about it not being met.
But All in all,
he just wants to be able to
be right and meaningful,
and that it holds Georgia's legacy in tech.
Thank you.
And now you're here from my Co
counsel's is always a team effort
and we have a great team that's
standing with the family of great
legal team attorney Chris Stewart.
Roxy Little Baby will just in my law partner,
the president actually interacted
and played with Gianna.
She had an absolute ball and that's why
this may be a sad day across the country.
But this was a super happy day seeing
her smell like she's still smiling
so everybody can just come together.
Democrat Democrat Republican
and passed a bill.
If you care about policing and the people,
it will get passed.
Now we will hear from attorney
Tony Romanucci another.
Great Co counsel.
Good day
everybody. Nice to see you all.
I think what's important about
today commemorating the one year
date of George Floyd's death is
that we need this bill passed.
Here's why we need it passed.
We need to protect lives
as opposed to take life.
We need people saved on the streets
of our country as opposed to being
unnecessarily shot by police.
That's what's so important about this day.
That's why I'm so proud to be
standing with the Floyd family
today being a representative.
And fighting for this bill to make
sure it is meaningful and substantial.
Thank you all.
Now we will hear briefly from
attorney Justin Miller and we
have one more speaker after that.
Good afternoon the the important
thing to remember and I think
everyone spoken on different things,
but the important thing I want
everyone to remember is this there
have been other bills that have been
passed in the last three months
protecting different groups of people.
This group of people need
to be protected too,
and this started a long time ago.
There are some things that started
a lot sooner that got protected a
lot faster and so we just ask that
you if you're out there watching.
You know Urger congressmen urge your
senator to pass this bill 'cause it's very,
very important.
Thank you.
And then and then. Finally,
before we take a question or two,
is National Bar Association president,
Attorney CK Hoffler. Good afternoon.
Justice, for one, is justice for all.
On behalf of the over 66,000
mostly African American lawyers
in this country and globally,
we must support the passage of the
George Floyd Justice and Policing Act.
We don't have a choice.
Unless we want to see the
carnage that we've seen happen
over and over and over again,
and that's not acceptable.
So please call your senator
impress upon everybody in your
community that we've got to do this.
We've got to pass it.
Thank you.
All right, we're going to just
do this one time for his family
back in Houston in North Carolina,
who couldn't be here.
We're going to raise our
fists and say, say, his name
Gianna Chris yeah yeah, come up here.
You wanna say, say his name.
Put your face up for Christmas let's
say say his name. George, Florida.
Say it now, babe.
George, Florida.
Thank you all. That's for his family
that could not be here today.
