After the events of the last few months, Bob's office has taken
action to address systemic racism in Washington state.

Just this month, Bob's Multidisciplinary Hate Crimes Task Force
submitted more than 20 recommendations to the State Legislature
to address everything from designating Hate Crimes Liaisons in
every police department to requiring a detective to contact the
victim before closing the investigation. These recommendations,
if adopted, will make our state a national leader in combating
hate crimes.

Moreover, Bob presented the Legislature with a plan for
reporting and tracking the use of deadly force by law enforcement
in Washington state so the public and policymakers can access
that information.

This is an important first step in the right direction -- but
there's plenty of work left to do and fast.

The need to reform the way hate crimes are handled is urgent --
not just in Washington, but across the nation.

The Task Force's first recommendations also include bold steps
to improve the way data on hate crimes is handled, create new
avenues for prosecutors to charge offenses and additional
education on hate and bias in schools and workplaces.

These measures provide an essential road map for moving forward
after months of unrest.

to ensure that all Washingtonians feel safe:
