Violence

Earlier today, I sent the following letter (or slight variations thereof) to my elected legislators:

• US Senator Dick Durbin
• US Senator Tammy Duckworth
• Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky
• State Senator Laura Fine
• State Representative Robyn Gabel

So far, my congressional delegation has all made public statements questioning or condemning the police violence across the country, but I don't believe anyone in government has yet gone far enough.

I am posting the Senator version here as well to make it available to anyone who wishes to use it as a template for their own letters to their elected representatives.

Dear Senator,

My name is Larry Garfield. I am an Illinois resident in the City of Evanston and one of your constituents.
