[1]Women's March
Dear John,
Nearly four years ago, I remember witnessing the first Women’s March
happening across the nation, from Washington to Los Angeles. Crowds of
women, hand-in-hand, standing against Donald Trump’s racism, sexism, and
xenophobia — showing love, strength, and leadership.
But what happened last Wednesday was a disturbingly different picture in
DC: a violent coup in our Capitol, carried out by white supremacists and
emboldened by fascists. Our nation is still reeling from the events. Five
people lost their lives, while the rest of us look for a way forward.
That’s why I’m introducing the Congressional Oversight of Unjust Policing
Act to uncover how this attack was able to breach the Capitol building.
This bill will establish a commission to investigate the attack, along
with the ties between white supremacists and Capitol Police.

Wednesday was not entirely a story of incompetence on the part of law
enforcement, so we have to ask:
Did some of those charged with protecting us willingly lay down their
posts?
Was there a coordinated effort to take over the United States government
with violence?
How on earth did a group of armed, violent insurrectionists march into one
of the most secure buildings on Earth and force members of Congress to
hide under their desks?
Why was our government so outrageously and dangerously unprepared to deal
with an attack we knew was coming?
Whatever the answers may be,
John, the fact that a fascist mob
was able to overtake our Capitol is unacceptable. This bill will be a step
forward for us to take action to understand who, and what, allowed it.

name to my bill so we can bring the American people the answers we
deserve.
Peace and love,
Jamaal Bowman
U.S Representative (NY-16)
