Justice reform allies! You may have heard the great news that @IbraheemSamirah has requested a re-vote on HB5013, @JeffMBourne's modest partial repeal of qualified immunity. What you may not have heard is that we still need one more vote! 1/6

@KayeKory, ordinarily an ally, abstained on Fri, but we're told she might reconsider. Also abstaining were @DelegateFowler & @CliffHayesJr. Dems voting against incl @DavidBulova, who famously marched in support of CJR recently, @shelly_simonds, @MarthaMugler & @SteveHeretick 2/6

Heretick stands out bc he reps Portsmouth, where the police are engaged in a pattern of vindictiveness vs. pub defenders & his own colleague @SenLouiseLucas. If any dept sees itself as above the law, it's the one on his own turf. Yet he opposed even a tad more accountability 3/6

Some Repubs favor changes to qualified immunity, but their caucus seems determined to hold the line vs any Dem legislation. Your efforts are better spent trying to convince the Dem holdouts. Tell them QI is unconscionable & to vote in favor of HB5013: a modest partial repeal 4/6

With that in mind, contact info!
