Pressley’s official release states the letter calls for robust data collection tracking hanging deaths of Black people transparently and systematically, and lists Adelita Grijalva among the representatives joining the letter.
Assessments
The promised action was to call for robust, transparent, and systematic federal data collection tracking hanging deaths of Black people. During her current House term, Grijalva joined an official congressional letter to DOJ and FBI that explicitly made that call, and an official House release identified her as among the lawmakers participating. Because the promise was framed as an oversight call rather than enactment of a new data system, her co-signing the letter fulfills the promised action in the same term.
