Expressing condemnation for police brutality wherever in the world it occurs.
This resolution (HRES 356) expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' condemnation of police brutality worldwide, including excessive force, extrajudicial killings, and disproportionate harm to racial minorities, women, migrants, and LGBTQIA+ communities. It urges the U.S. government to stop arms sales to countries with documented police brutality, end militarized policing tactics domestically and abroad, and redirect funds toward community programs. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws but calls for specific policy actions from the executive branch and businesses.
