John,

ICYMI: Reps. Cori Bush and Summer Lee are joining Rashida Tlaib in
reintroducing the Justice For All Act — a transformative bill to expand
our civil rights and protect our communities from discrimination.

For far too long, our civil rights have been weakened by right wing judges
at all levels of government. And we can't rely on today's radical
right-wing Supreme Court to defend us. By restoring the original intent of
our civil rights laws, we can ensure that everyone is treated equally
under the law.

This bill would provide people and communities with the tools and
resources needed to combat both intentional AND unintentional
discrimination in housing, education, public accomodations, employment
among others.

If passed, the Justice For All Act would end qualified immunity for
government personnel, including police officers. The bill would also
prohibit racial and gender profiling in police investigations. These acts
alone could finally bring some form of standardized accountability to
police.

Additionally, this bill would go even further by protecting people in the
courts by:

* Supporting victims of discrimination by ensuring they receive the
compensation they deserve and the attorney's fees as necessary to
allow civil rights lawyers to take on their cases. 
* Prohibiting the use of compelled arbitration clauses, which are too
often used to eliminate consumer and employee rights. 
* Eliminating court-created defenses that allow employers to escape
liability for creating hostile work environments. 
* Expanding the definition of "sex" for civil rights purposes to include
sexual orientation and gender identity. 

The Justice For All Act has the ability to change the lives of millions of
people of all ages and backgrounds, especially for those from marginalized
communities. We are long overdue for an overhaul of the criminal justice
system to equalize the playing field for everyone.

Congress has the ability to defend and expand our civil rights protections
to defend our communities from further discrimination. Our collective
voice is key to making this a reality. [ [link removed] ]Will you add your name to become

In solidarity,

Team Cori
