Sign our petition demanding the Senate demilitarize state and local law enforcement.
The Federal government has provided billions of dollars’ worth of surplus military equipment to police departments in our communities. Our police are not an occupying force and should not have weapons of war. Congress needs to end the war in our communities by ending the militarization of police.
The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act will limit the types of military grade equipment that can be given to state and local law enforcement, and take other important steps to hold officers accountable and make interactions with law enforcement less violent. Add your name to our petition today demanding action from the Senate.
