John --

We asked, and you responded: an overwhelming majority of you support policies that will help put an end to police brutality and hold law enforcement accountable.

Now, we need you to take action.

Dwight helped pass the Justice in Policing Act, a crucial piece of legislation that is the boldest action we've seen in decades to finally take action on policing reforms we desperately need. It'll put a stop to racial profiling and ensure law enforcement officers are trained to better protect the communities they are sworn to serve.

Too many innocent Black lives have already been lost. If you're with Dwight, add your name now to become a citizen co-sponsor of the House's Justice in Policing Act now >> [link removed]

Subject: I never thought I'd live to see the day

John,

I never thought I'd see the day when the president of the United States would turn our nation's military against the American people.

Outraged is an understatement. Watching tear gas and rubber bullets violently disperse peaceful protestors for the sake of an opportunistic photoshoot is an unbelievable disregard for our hard-won Constitutional freedoms.

Black Americans have persevered despite over 400 years of unspeakable injustices. So when communities all across the nation come together to demand better for themselves and their neighbors, it is the responsibility of lawmakers to listen and create change.

The House's Justice in Policing Act of 2020 is nothing radical, but it's the boldest action taken on law enforcement reform in decades. It puts a stop to unfair and often deadly racial profiling, and ensures law enforcement is properly trained to protect the people they are sworn to serve. It will make body cameras mandatory and both ban the horrific chokeholds and limit military-grade equipment that leads to so many innocent Black lives lost.

Do you support the policies that will put an end to police brutality and hold law enforcement accountable?

We cannot allow innocent Americans like George Floyd to die in vain. Their loss must be a rallying cry to prevent these atrocities from ever happening again. We should be lifting up the voices of fed-up citizens who simply want to live without fear of dying at the hands of the police -- not using tanks, machine guns, and an unnecessary military presence to try and silence them.

Trump was always a threat to our democracy. But I never thought I'd live to see the day he'd retaliate against the American people with such heartless, brutal force. The president's words and actions are dangerous and cannot be tolerated. We must continue raising our voices and working together to secure the justice that the Black community deserves.

Thank you for using your voice,

Dwight
