My name is Justin Xiao. I'm a junior in high school that wants to see change in the police system. While I have the passion to make change, there are several obstacles to getting this done the normal way: I do not have 2000$ lying around to apply for an initiative, nor am I 18 years old yet. The corona epidemic is still very real, so I can't go door to door with a petition.

And that brings me here. I need to get one of the listed legislators to author our cause. Your valued contribution can be part of a very real change to our broken justice system that repeatedly allows criminals to abuse the power of being a police officer. Your signature can help us weed out the bad cops that undermine public trust in an institution meant to protect us.

what I have proposed as an amendment into the California penal code is an addition to that of which was signed in by governor Newsom in August of last year. While that bill delivers a valiant effort at promoting de-escalation over violence, the fact that California remains a leading state in police violence compounded on the recent state of affairs has proven that these measures are ineffective. My proposed amendment explicitly punish the criminals that dare hide among the police, and ensure that they get out of our system for good. One murder should be their last. While I am sure the proposed text is not perfect, what matters now is delivering an idea. I'm sure we can do this together.

Stay safe and take a moment to share this with some friends and family. Change in one state is the beginning to change in the nation.
