First Lady Jill Biden and several members of Congress have invited family members of victims of police violence to attend President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on 7 February.

At least 10 families of Black victims of police violence – including Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, George Floyd and Eric Garner, among others – were invited to attend the president’s remarks at the US Capitol, where criminal justice advocates anticipate his renewed support for legislation to overhaul use-of-force policies in police departments across the country.
