Angela Underwood-Jacobs, the sister of a federal officer who was shot and killed during protests in California, told members of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that she wanted to help America "navigate the righteous path to equality, freedom and nonviolent systemic change."
Jacobs' brother, Dave Patrick Underwood, was killed in a drive-by shooting during protests over the death of George Floyd in Oakland on May 29.
She also shared her dismay that while thousands have protested and shown outrage over the death of Floyd, there has been no such reaction to her brother's death.
"The actions of a few are dividing us as a nation," she said. "We will never solve generational systemic injustice with looting burning, destruction of property and killing in the name of justice."
