Dear John,

You are invited to join CODEPINK CONGRESS, our campaign to mobilize co-sponsors and votes for peace legislation!

Tuesday Capitol Calling Party:
The Movement to End Police Violence
One Year after George Floyd’s Murder

Tuesday, June 29, 5 pm PT/8 pm ET

Featuring

Paige Fernandez, policing policy advisor at the ACLU, is an advocate for reducing the role, power, and presence of police in communities.

Yasmine Taeb is a human rights lawyer and progressive strategist working to repeal the 1033 program that transfers military equipment to local police departments.

A year ago, millions of people joined the Black Lives Matter movement to protest the murder of George Floyd, defund the police, and repeal the 1033 program, which transfers weapons of war — bayonets, grenade launchers, and armored vehicles — to local police departments. Our guests will update us on proposed legislation to challenge the 1033 program, nationwide efforts to divest from policing, and new restorative justice approaches adopted by cities from New York to California.

Want to do more?

Take action to stop the dangerous EAGLE Act.

Sign our petition to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asking that she not let the House vote on the EAGLE Act if it contains wasteful and environmentally damaging military spending and anti-Asian rhetoric!
