RE: House control

This fight is not new to Hakeem:

  John xxxxxx, This past week, people in Kentucky, Virginia, and New York made their voices heard at the ballot box. Even as we wait for the final results to come in, one thing is clear: our fight for justice has just begun, and we need to keep up the momentum from now until Election Day. …

[urgent petition] Attorney General William Barr

  John xxxxxx, Attorney General William Barr has now made it clear that his top priority is protecting Donald Trump at all costs, not delivering impartial justice. His loyalty to Trump over the rule of law reached a breaking point last week when he abruptly fired the U.S. Attorney of the …

  John xxxxxx, In the past few weeks, we’ve seen progress in reforming policing and criminal justice in America. The voices and actions of people like you across the country are what's driving change. It's demonstrable proof that the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Rayshard Br…

You can take action to stop this madness

  There's power in this movement to protect Black lives, John xxxxxx. Today, the DNC used its platforms to help amplify the demand to end the use of chokeholds by law enforcement; an excessive force tactic that claimed the life of Anthony Baez in 1994, Eric Garner in 2014, and Georg…

George Floyd should still be alive today.

  "I cannot breathe." That's what George Floyd said before dying under the weight of a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on his neck. But it wasn't the first time we've heard a Black man or woman echo similar words. Before George Floyd, it was Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Ph…
