“I have been honored to help lead and support the IIP’s efforts from the very start of this project, including by sharing what my team and I learned while prosecuting Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. I commend the IIP for its leadership in producing these reports and I look forward to seeing the change this network helps to effect. We attorneys general have much to learn and much to teach about how to build safety, accountability, and trust.”

-Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison
