Dear Friend,

The 22 mostly Latino victims in El Paso are the most recent victims of a scourge of hate-fueled gun violence, which has also targeted African Americans in Charleston, Jews in Pittsburgh, Muslims in New York, and the LGBTQ community in Orlando. 

This is a threat from within that feeds on division and tears at the very fabric of our society. 

It must be called what it is: domestic terrorism.

This week I proposed a first-in-the-nation law that confronts this threat head on and will help ensure that these perpetrators are treated like the terrorists they are.

The Hate Crimes Domestic Terrorism Act would ensure that hate-fueled murder with the intent to cause mass casualties carries the same penalty as any other act of terrorism —  with a sentence of up to life without parole.

NY will not tolerate this rash of hateful violence and offering thoughts and prayers cannot continue to be a substitute for action.

Together, we can and we will lead the way forward for this nation.

Andrew
