Mark and his Democratic colleagues in Congress are moving fast to pass the Justice in Policing Act but they need your help.

Trump and his Republicans allies are going to stand in the way of this legislation. They are going to try to stop us from making the reforms that MUST be made to put an end to police brutality. We cannot let them win — not now.

Will you take action today to confront the racism that has been so deeply sowed in the fabric of American history by signing on to support the Justice in Policing Act?

Please, take action

Here’s the hard truth we all face now: the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery were not random occurrences.They are a result of hundreds of years of systemic racism and discrimination perpetuated by an institution that has been given far too much power and few limitations.

Condemning these actions isn’t enough, we need to take action and create change. Which is why I am proud to announce that I am co-sponsoring the Justice in Policing Act of 2020.

This legislation will ban the use of chokeholds, no-knock warrants, require reports on the use of force, and create substantive reforms to hold police officers accountable. To implement these reforms quickly, we need your support.

Will you add your name here to urge Congress to pass the Justice in Policing Act immediately?

There have been many efforts to distract us from the pain that Black Americans are facing at the hands of law enforcement.

Nonetheless, I am redoubling my own education on the experience of Black Americans and I urge you to do the same. We must keep learning. Keep listening. And, keep demanding change.

Will you show your support of the Justice in Policing Act?

This bill is one of the many steps I plan to take to combat structural racism. Much more work still needs to be done.

We can’t stay silent. Stand with me.

Mark
