John,

A little over a week ago, I reached out to ask you to join me in calling
on Congress to ban the use of tear gas in the United States. In the days
since, tens of thousands of DFA members have signed on to our joint
petition.

Tear gas is a chemical weapon banned in war, yet police departments across
the country are using it to disperse peaceful protests and attack American
citizens.

Thanks to public pressure from you and progressives across the country,
Democrats in Congress are responding.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just introduced legislation banning the use
of tear gas by police in the United States. She’s counting on a massive
swell of grassroots support to make this bill law.

People across the country are raising their voices and risking their
personal safety to protest police violence against Black Americans.

And police have responded by using a chemical weapon banned in war here on
American citizens.

As we continue the push to stop out-of-control police departments across
the country, we need to enact a national ban on tear gas.

A chemical weapon banned in war has no place in American communities.
