thisfinecrewRight now, in the US, if we're working for police reform, that needs to be at the state level.
Which means 50 different state legislatures. In Massachusetts, the state senate just passed S.2800, a reform bill that at least reduces qualified immunity. It's now going to the state house. If you live in Massachusetts, please call or email your state representative about this.
The message I sent was just "The state senate just passed S.2800, a police reform bill that limits qualified immunity. As your constituent, I'm asking you to work to get a companion bill through the state house and on the governor's desk by the end of July."
That works because I already know Dave Rogers is in favor of police reform, and have written to him before. I think I have a few spare spoons if anyone would like help drafting emails or writing phone scripts. I might be able to find non-Massachusetts info, if you need that.
