John,

During President Biden's Address to Congress he set a deadline for passing
the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act:

"... get it done next month by the first anniversary of George Floyd’s
death."

That deadline is exactly two weeks away on May 25th. The problem is
momentum is slowing down. And over the weekend, House Majority Whip James
Clyburn said he is willing to drop ending qualified immunity from the bill
to get bipartisan support.

This is not the time to sit on our hands and hope for Congress to act.
It's up to us to amp up the pressure and demand action by the deadline.

[ [link removed] ]It's up to us to show the Senate that Americans from Red States like
Montana, Kentucky, and Arkansas to Blue State like Michigan, Georgia, and
Pennsylvania stand united in support of passing this critically important
comprehensive police reform. Build the pressure by signing the petition
right now!

Unlike with most of Biden's agenda, bipartisan support for the bill is not
a pipe dream.

Republican Sen. Tim Scott has introduced a similar proposal in the Senate
which covers many of the same reforms passed in the House bill.

Senator Scott insists, and so do several top Democrats including Senator
Cory Booker, that there are enough Republican votes to pass the Senate
despite the 60 vote requirement needed to break a filibuster.

They may be right. Polling from Data for Progress shows that 74% of all
voters support passing the Justice in Policing Act. Even better, 55% of
Republicans support it too.

Now is the time to act. Support can fade. The further we get from the
tragedy the less urgency there is. That's why President Biden's May 25th
deadline is so important. Let's show every Senator - Republican and
Democrat -- that America is demanding action.

When we work together, we win.

Thank you for taking action today.
