Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Criminal Justice

Jake is committed to confronting racism, and has helped initiate this work right here in Newton. On the city council, Jake led a review of the Newton Police Department's policies surrounding use of force and joined his colleagues in backing the police reform Task Force. In his op-ed in WBUR's Cognoscenti, Jake calls for a demilitarization of our police and advocates for a review of police functions through the lens of race. In Congress, Jake will champion anti-racist policy as we work towards this country's core aspiration: equal justice and equal opportunity for all.
