Friends,

Over the past two weeks, people across the country have taken to the streets to stand against racial injustices in the fight to bring transformative change to police policy.

For many, the death of George Floyd and countless others is not an unseen experience -- it's a horrific reality that Black communities face across the country. And after the death of Elijah McClain in Aurora, Jason got to work months ago bringing civil rights and police reform to Congress.

As this movement spread across the world, Jason put action to his words and fast-tracked his bill -- now named the George Floyd Law Enforcement Trust and Integrity Act. It is now part of the largest overhaul of the country's policing laws in decades, the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 which will:

-- Create law enforcement development and training programs to develop best practices and require the creation of law enforcement accreditation standard recommendations based on President Obama's Task Force on 21st Century policing;
-- Ban the use of chokeholds, like the one that killed George Floyd;
-- Create a national registry to track police misconduct and abuse;
-- Enact other structural changes.

The lives of Elijah, George, Breonna, and countless others can't be brought back -- but we can honor them by reforming the institutions that created and continue to perpetuate the injustices they faced. Add your name next to Jason's to demand an end to police brutality, and to hold law enforcement accountable for misconduct >> [link removed]

Raising our voices with the Black Lives Matter movement is not enough. That's why Jason is committed to taking the concrete steps necessary to address racial injustices that have plagued our nation for entirely too long. It's time to rebuild trust between our police departments and the communities they serve. Too many people have died in the face of Congressional inaction, and it's past time to get to work.

It's time to shine a light on what all of us know to be true: biased policing, excessive force, and other practices at the expense of the Black community are serious problems in Colorado and across the nation, and we need solutions. Join Jason in taking action to stop the injustice today.

These are changes that should have happened a long time ago -- and it's our change to make.

Michael
