Vivian Ho writes on The Guardian, “George Floyd’s life was celebrated at his funeral on Tuesday, with eulogies that honored him as a father, brother, athlete and mentor whose death sparked a global reckoning over police brutality and racial prejudice.
Crowds descended on a church in Houston, Texas, after Floyd’s body was returned to his childhood hometown to be laid to rest in a cemetery in suburban Pearland next to his mother, whom he called out for as he lay dying with a police officer’s knee on his neck in May.”
Bernie Sanders said in an email, “From the beginning, I’ve always said that our campaign was not about Bernie Sanders. It was not about simply electing a president, but about building a movement to transform America.
One of the ways we must continue building that movement is by electing progressives at all levels of government. Because the truth is, real change never happens from the top on down. It happens from the bottom on up.
Today I am proud to endorse six candidates for Congress, and a lot of them have primaries coming up very soon. If you can afford to right now, I hope you will consider making a contribution to their campaigns.”
Bernie Sanders endorsed Charles Booker, Samelys López, Jamaal Bowman, Mondaire Jones, Mike Siegel and Cori Bush.
