Former US President Barack Obama said the violence and injustices that are the underlying causes that sparked nationwide protests need change at the local level.
"I'm urging every mayor in this country to review your use of force policies with members of your community, and commit to report on planned reforms," he said in a virtual town hall.
Obama said both protest and voting are important, as officials who could effect change in 19,000 American municipalities and more than 18,000 local enforcement jurisdictions are elected and could be held accountable by voters.
