NJDSC Chairman John Currie Releases Statement on Guilty Verdict of Derek Chauvin

TRENTON, NJ — NJDSC Chairman John Currie has released the following statement following the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin:

“George Floyd will never go home to his family but today’s guilty verdict offers a measure of relief to his family and the millions of people so deeply affected by his death. The movement for justice that was sparked in the wake of George Floyd’s murder continues, as does our Democratic Party’s commitment to fairness and equality. We must use this moment as a time to encourage more accountability, respect and dialogue between the police and the communities they serve. If we can accomplish that, perhaps George Floyd will not have died in vain and his death can be the start of a more just society.”
