Dear Attorney General Healey,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history and  social justice.  In these subjects, I like to learn the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. Attorney General Healey, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 59^th Attorney General of Massachusetts to be very inspiring to me.

In January 2015, I was amazed on how you made history by becoming the first openly gay to become Attorney General of Massachusetts. In your current role as Attorney General of Massachusetts, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, prosecuting people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and investigating public places that practice different forms of discrimination or violate Civil Rights legislation.  Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, expressing the need for funds to improve DNA testing including forensic science to help reduce sending an innocent person to jail while help solve cases or evidence efficiently is common sense for criminal justice reform.   On victims’ rights, I liked on how you work with law enforcement along with the Office of the Massachusetts Attorney General to expand resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence to help on dealing with their trauma and implement more child services to help assist children who are abused or are neglected find foster homes or families to help them.    Another thing that I like abut your work as Attorney General of Massachusetts is how you sent after public officials that are corrupt or accepted illegal bribes to help reduce corruption, prosecuted companies or industries that illegally polluted the environment or violated environmental protection laws to help improve public health while reduce pollution, strongly  support for the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants dreamers, and refugees form being oppressed. and strongly advocate for women’s rights to help protect them from being discriminated.

Attorney General Healey, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also your role as Attorney General of Massachusetts gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice.  My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in your current role. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil Rights, push for criminal justice reform, and many others.  You have inspired me to continue to work hard on my disability and to be motivated to continue to learn history including social justice.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to make a great difference for society.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
