John,

Black Lives Matter.

For too long, Congress failed to truly acknowledge the
power and the grief behind those words. The death of Eric Garner,
or Tamir Rice, or Breonna Taylor wasn’t enough for them to take
action.

As I called to demilitarize our police and put an end to
“cooling off” periods that help protect bad cops, Congress
remained stagnant -- proclaiming Black Lives Matter in word only.

Now, our people have taken to the streets. And even
amidst a global pandemic, they’ve come together to say enough is
enough -- we are tired of police killing Black folks.

Our people need to know that we as their elected
representatives hear them. The only way we can do that is to do
our job and take action.

That’s why I am proud to announce the passage through
the House of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act -- a
comprehensive set of police reforms that will set us on a better
path toward justice.

I write this not out of celebration, but out of
solidarity for it is our basic duty to protect the rights and
freedoms of every individual -- especially those who have been
victimized, abused, and exploited for centuries.

The Justice in Policing Act is merely the beginning of
our work. Demilitarizing, banning chokeholds and no-knock
warrants, and creating a National Registry of Bad Cops will save
lives, but there is more left to accomplish to better invest in
our communities. I look forward to being a part of that fight.

May all those Black lives taken from us rest in power,
and may we continue to make lasting, meaningful change in their
legacy.

In service and solidarity,

-- Hank
