Dear District Attorney Denise Clark,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment form pollution, and have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  District Attorney Clark, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 13^th District Attorney for Bronx County, New York to be very inspiring to me.

In January 2016, I was amazed on how you made history on becoming the first African American woman to be elected to be District Attorney for Bronx County, New York. In your current role as 13^th District Attorney for Bronx County, New York, 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 form of discrimination or violate civil rights legislation. Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse,  working with law enforcement including the Office of the Bronx County District Attorney to expand resources to help victims of domestic violence or victims of crime get help on dealing with their trauma,  and expressing the need for funds to improve DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform.  Also I like on how you are an advocate for the need for the criminal justice system to reduce racial profiling to help protect minorities including immigrants from being oppressed and support the need for body cameras on law enforcement officers to reduce misconduct. Another thing that I like about your work as District Attorney for Bronx County, New York is how you went after industries that illegally polluted the environment or violate environmental protection laws to help reduce pollution, prosecute public officials that are corrupt or accepted illegal bribes to reduce corruption, and push for educational awareness programs to help educate youth including people about the need to reduce gun violence or drug abuse.

District Attorney Denise Clark, 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.  Your role as current 13^th District Attorney for Bronx County, New York gives me motivation to continue learn history including social justice.  My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make civil rights 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 for society and the criminal justice system.  I’m proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights, protect the environment, and push for criminal justice reform. You have inspired me to work hard on my disability and 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  great impact on society and the criminal justice reform.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
