Dear Judge Chang,

My name is Matt Winick, an Asian American from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, criminal justice reform, and social justice. In these subjects,  I like to learn the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, expand on criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. Judge Chang, the main reason reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as Judge of Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as Judge of Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, pushing for strict sentencing for people who commit hate crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and expressing the need for civil rights to be stronger to help protect minorities including people who are different from discrimination. Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, working with the court system to improve programs to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma, and expressing while supporting  the need for funds to help 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. Another thing that I like about your work as Judge of Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California is how you are a strong supporter of civil liberties like the fourth amendment to help protect people’s rights from unreasonable searches. Also I like on how you are an advocate for the need for ethics reform to reduce police misconduct and support the idea of having a mental health court to help people with disabilities or people with mental health illness to get treatment.

Judge Chang, 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 being an Asian American with a disability is difficult for me because some Asians including some Asian Americans tease me including get judgmental about me being different from them.  Your continuous commitment to be a strong supporter of the Asian community and advocate for Asian American with disabilities’ rights gives me some inspiration to continue to be proud to be an Asian American when I face struggles in fitting in.  Your role as Judge of Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California  helps give me motivation to continue to learn history, criminal justice reform, and social justice.  My future goal is to work in these areas to help emphasize 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.  My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in the judicial system. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights, push along with advocate for criminal justice reform, continue to help the Asian American community, and many others. You truly inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn more about your work, continue to learn different subjects,  and to be confident about being an Asian American when there are challenges. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference,  and inspiring me. I would like to meet you because you inspire me and your work is very inspirational to me. Please continue to advocate and push for common sense ideas to improve the judicial system.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
