More than 50 progressive groups have signed a letter urging Joe Biden to take more aggressive steps to address policing and criminal justice reform, warning a failure to do so could jeopardize his support among black voters in November

"You cannot win the election without the enthusiastic support of Black voters, and how you act in this moment of crisis will play a big role in determining how Black votersm-- and all voters concerned with racial justice -- respond to your candidacy," the letter to the presumptive Democratic nominee reads."A 'return to normalcy' will not suffice."The letter comes amid a growing national conversation on racial justice and police brutality.

Biden's investment in community policing was part of his criminal justice plan released last summer, but he's renewed promoting the initiative amid heightened calls for police reform in the wake of nationwide protesting stemming from the death of George Floyd, a black man who died at the hands of police. The NAACP is among the groups to have supported community police efforts as well.

Go get him Joe Vote blue everyone.

Now let's look at who these progressive groups are and who they're made up of. Because white progressive groups have always taken us for granted.

Forget them Biden. The progressives have no policy to solve the problem on this. You can’t just move money or dismantle them. It doesn’t work like that. We need the police. Also Biden never said “back to normal “ you progressives did. You start out that line.

Then they’ll complain that “Joe is just talking about it.” Do these people understand how elections work?

You need to listen them.

Hold on let Joe get a piece of paper and a pen....

You do realize that the majority of black people are moderates. You do realize those moderate black voters , chose Joe Biden. Progressives did not have enough voters to get a progressive candidate over the finish line. Biden2020

All you have to do is remind these 50 of SC!

Why would Biden adopt a platform which was defeated at the polls — resoundingly. Why would progressives — who did not win black voters — think they have any basis to speak for them? I’m glad Biden has the experience not to get taken in.

These are the same anti-Biden “progressive groups” who smeared & lied on Biden at every turn to stop him from getting the nom! Now they got demands? These privileged brainwashed white kids they think they can speak for black folk? GTFOH! racism 101

Jeopardize his support?! Someone needs to tell these 50 “progressive” groups who think they represent the black vote, that they DO NOT! By trying to hold our vote hostage THEY ARE JEOPARDIZING OUR VERY LIVES! STOP IT! And stop !

Already being manipulated!

Biden's idea of justice is to open the borders and the doors to the prison

That’s going to screw up his crime bill that put those who he deems lowlifes in jail

Too late for Biden. Trump already did that today with his executive order.

So called progressive.... really the same late night socialists that want to make the US like those successful Soviets of the 60's.

What his first half century in office wasn’t enough of an eff up? You honestly think he can tie his own shoes, let alone “fix” anything in office?

Black folks left Joe and the Democrat Party months ago. The only ones left voting for him are the generational welfare trash 🗑, the criminals & the ones employed by the.. FakeNewsIndustrialComplex Donald Trump did what Hussein Obama only lip serviced about; he brought jobs

Biden served 29 years in the Senate and VP he had more than enough time to make changes to criminal justice system. We wouldn't see what's happening today if Biden & Senators do the peoples job! Put the people issues over their personal profits $$$$.

He can’t even remember what day it is

Biden says 'Votes? Hell yeah, I'll agree to anything for votes!'

Go Joe.. We are backing you!!

Lol! Biden taking aggressive steps? Lol! Do they hear themselves. The crotchety old never was is decrepit. Too funny.

He’ll do whatever the left tells him to do.

The moron has no public office. He’s not an elected official. He’s trying to get there and we see through his bullshit

So hand it to Trump to because Biden will not go far enough for the farther left groups TheDemocrats hand elections away - this is why we are where we are

He is in the stew.

Hey cnn im pretty sure he is fine. Why dont you do more useful coverage and reporting. Be real here. Only people voting for trump are white supremacists and their sympathizers

Well those you would be dissatisfied should remember this Trump doesn’t care..if he gets a second term nothing happens and my bet is it gets worse...so those who are critical need to remember this. Once Biden wins then he can be pursauded to take a more aggressive posture

JoeBiden I for one hope you take strong progressive stance on police reform we need to do better this has gone on for far too long. BlackLivesMattters VoteTrumpOut VoteOutHate

Progressive? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Let me interpret. Freaks

Creepy hair sniffing Joe Biden?

'Progressive' is debatable.

He have to go against his own 1994 laws that target black people, Democrat Corey Booker said that Biden laws increase 500% the black population in jails, Biden:You aint no black

Oh please. He doesn’t even know what day it is. Much less which office he’s running for.

Good for Trump. These ninnies on the left want Biden to abolish the police. He'll do whatever they tell him to do because that's what he does. 8 years with a black POTUS and they didn't fix a damn thing. Now the guy has dementia and you think he's going to fix something? Absurd

Its never enough Joe....g'luck w that! THIS is what a vote for Joe gets? 50 groups saying its not left enough?

Biden is a puppet and has absolutely no stance on anything. His puppet master should come forward and run for office in place of sleepy joe. At least the puppet master has an opinion.

Either do ALL of the reporting and give facts and details or STFU.

if they defund n defang the cops then they can take a step back n allow all the crimes n robbery to run free They 'd just watch A recipe for looting n riots

Ok

WOW AGRESSION BY AGRESSION WHO WILL BE BETTER OFF?

LOL. The man joebiden that wrote the crime bill that threw black people in prison is now champion and savior of the same black people. You can't make this up.

Time to awoken up, Joe. The people is depressed

Lol he ain’t black enough

It should be his Day 1 issue.

well then they ain't black I guess

So Biden is going to undo what President Clinton did with the criminal justice reform and do what President Obama should have done with the criminal justice reform? Joe you better listen, you might be more Revere than both former presidents. Just thinking out loud!!!
