In the United States, nearly 1,000 people are shot and killed by police each year. Sadly, you don't have to do the math to know that a disproportionate number of black men are the victims of excessive police force. This is not a case of a few bad apples.
The system is broken.
There are far too many stories like that of Stephon Clark, an unarmed 22-year-old who was gunned down by the police in his own grandmother's backyard. We can't become numb to these incidents or accept them as normal. It's time to make real change through policy that protects and serves all Americans.
1. Introduce new policing guidelines.
2. Hold police accountable.
3. Start the healing process between communities and law enforcement.
The release of Julián's policing reform plan follows his People First Immigration and Education platforms, which have set the standards for immigration and education policy among 2020 Democratic contenders. All politicians must step out of their comfort zones to make necessary change for the good of our nation. The loss of innocent lives must stop, and comprehensive policing reform is the first step.

In solidarity,
