Sample text you can send to your representative:
Hello "Representative's name",
My name is ___ and I am writing to you today to request your support in helping representative Justin Amash put an end to the Qualified Immunity Act by sponsoring his bill - Ending Qualified Immunity Act. By putting an end to the Qualified Immunity Act, it would restore Americans’ ability to obtain relief when police officers violate their constitutionally secured rights, and in doing so hopefully put an end to, or significantly reduce police brutality cases across the country. I strongly urge you to support this bill because for too long police officers have faced no consequences for their violent and murderous actions.
Sincerely
_____,
