Powerful protests against police brutality are still sweeping the nation. I know first hand the over-criminalization of Black and brown bodies. I also understand that the frustration of protestors and their calls for reform go well beyond discriminatory policing.pic.twitter.com/r7VT4DFE0c
To create lasting structural change, we need a nuanced and multi-disciplinary approach to reform. I know the complexities of racial inequities in our communities. I have a bold policy reform plan for #TX24 drawing on the expertise of Campaign Zero.
As a child, my siblings and I experienced the same harsh and criminalized treatment that too many Black and brown kids still face today. That’s why I worked to shut down the school-to-prison pipeline while on the CFBISD school board, and will continue our fight in Congress.
In Congress, I will: - Support the CBC endorsed Justice in Policing Act of 2020. - Build an all-civilian oversight structure for police departments to ensure that officers are held accountable by the public rather than investigated by their peers.
- Work with communities to establish alternatives to respond to emergency situations in which a social worker would be a more appropriate responder. - Work to end the role of money as a factor in the justice system by ending the cash bail system and eliminating private prisons.
