We need to fundamentally change the way we police in America.

We have seen with our own eyes the violence and brutality too
often inflicted on Black men and women by officers sworn to
protect them. We cannot look away. It is one of the most
insidious displays of the generations of oppression and injustice
our Black community carries - and of a government complicit and
complacent in their pain.

We cannot ask for peace until we are willing to provide justice.

Congress must tackle police reform now. We must:

* Demilitarize the police.
* Ban chokeholds.
* End qualified immunity.
* Appoint civilian oversight boards.
* Require body cameras at all times.
* Limit use of force.
* Independently investigate misconduct.

It's not enough for Congress to say "Black Lives Matter." We need
to do something. Pass something. Fix something. That is the power
in our hands - let's use it for justice.

We need action. We need change. We will not let another
generation of Black Americans suffer at the hands of those sworn
to protect them.

In solidarity,

- Joe
