Last night Senator Brian Schatz announced he intends to introduce an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Action to put a stop to the transfer of military weapons and machinery to local police departments.

We've seen how these weapons and systems can escalate and instigate violence when in the wrong hands, so we're asking you to sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of Sen. Schatz's amendment and join VoteVets in calling for the end of this program.

Will you sign on today?

As Donald Trump tweets through his mounting failures from his underground bunker at the White House, he leaves America void of leadership from the top. Meanwhile, his allies are calling for him to turn the military against its own citizens. He's already signaled a desire to send in our military to occupy American cities and crush displays of protests, as recently as a few hours ago.

Sen. Schatz's proposal to stop the transfer of military weapons to local police departments is an effective measure we can all support right now in order to stem the tragic violence we've seen from the militarization of our police forces across the country.

If you're with us, add your name to our petition in support of ending the transfer of military weapons to local police departments today.

This is one way this team can make a difference in just a few simple clicks. Sen. Schatz will need all the help he can get to introduce and pass this amendment, so we have to start rallying support right now.

Thanks for taking the time today.
