We are at a moment of reckoning. Future generations will carefully look to see how we responded — which path our nation took and what role each and every American played.

We must commit ourselves as a country to eliminating deep inequities and systemic racism in all forms and take urgent and decisive action to transform our system of policing and overhaul our criminal justice system.

That's why I am reaching out today to ask for your support for the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 — crucial legislation that would establish mechanisms for the independent review of police misconduct, end deadly practices like chokeholds, create a national registry to track police abuses, and end the use of qualified immunity — the legal shield that has prevented police officers from being held personally accountable for the unjustified use of force.

Click here to add your name in support of the Justice in Policing Act of 2020, an important first step forward to addressing police violence and eradicating systemic racism in all its forms.

As a country, we all have a duty to do everything in our power to uproot and destroy racism that has been deeply embedded in so many of our institutions and social structures. We must fully listen to Black Americans and other communities of color and take concrete and sustained action.

Hundreds of years of injustices have left a deep stain on our nation, and we have much work ahead. The Justice in Policing Act is an important first step.

Sign here to demand that Republicans work urgently with Democrats to pass the Justice in Policing Act and begin the urgent process of transforming policing in America.

While this bill is a crucial step—it must be the first of many more to follow.

Thank you for your commitment to the fight for justice and equality,

Chris
