John,

Yesterday, Senators Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, in conjunction with the
Congressional Black Caucus, announced sweeping legislation to reform
policing in America.

The Justice in Policing Act of 2020 is an important step forward in
re-imagining policing and holding law enforcement accountable nationwide.
The key reforms in this bill include:

* Setting a strict national standard for use of force by police officers
* Expanding the Department of Justice’s ability to conduct
investigations into police departments nationwide
* Establishing a national police misconduct database and requiring
states to report use-of-force incidents to the DOJ
* Banning the use of chokeholds as well as “no-knock” warrants in drug
cases at the federal level
* Limiting the transfer of military equipment to police departments
* Making lynching a federal crime

support for this legislation. Will you sign our petition to demand every
member of Congress endorse the Justice in Policing Act?

We can and must do more to re-imagine the ways in which we keep our
communities safe and healthy. That includes investing more money in public
schools, universal health care, and robust mental health and social
services.

And the Justice in Policing Act is an important step forward in holding
police accountable in America.

Thank you for raising your voice in this fight.
