These are a selection of petitions I've found with personal stories in which family are fighting for justice. I've written brief explanations each ones aims to make it quick and easy to find and choose which are most important to you. A lot are from change.org which is a good place to find more and it's easy to made an account with them which means they'll send you petitions directly and you can sign with one click instead rather than tediously filling in your details every time. 

​

This website contains petitions for:

​

George Floyd- who was killed after being pulled out his car by police after signing a suspected forged cheque. Derek Chauvin, who Floyd had  previously worked with as a security guard, then went on to kneel on his neck for 9 minutes as Floyd screamed 'I can't breathe'. His death was recorded : https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11715440/four-cops-fired-george-floyd-neck-death-video/

​

Breonna Taylor- who was shot 8 times by police who entered her home illegally without a warrant after Breonna's boyfriend had fired a gun in self defence, against who he thought was someone attempting to rob their home. Police had been looking for a suspect who was 10 miles away when they'd already been arrested earlier that morning but had gone to the wrong home. Despite this, her boyfriend Kenneth Walker was charged with attempted murder and the officers were released free of charge.
