<p>Hi Carol—<br>
<br>
In less than 48 hours we'll deliver our petition to the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Justice demanding that they stop funding the militarized policing of communities of color.<br>
<br>

<br>
On Tuesday, September 9th, the one month anniversary of Michael Brown’s death, there will be a Senate hearing on Militarization.<br>
<br>
The ACLU will be at that hearing and will share our petition, which has already gotten almost 50,000 signatures from ACLU supporters like you — <a href="https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/cckbaDZ15QAFByB-AlXHyaDN~C---oaaaa?k=~@tDrC&U=mizYxTobF_WwQsb.mew&b=Lt5&n=&1=X3jzi://6m6.Qmb4.e1W/2Umk1U/mewc4dsjsU206Q1pydoi?oc2hm=Dkj@KfzUkb@Kk3eveqYx6xQlboT&ocsi2ko=csbsjkhspkjsex&Uwj8fo=fojsjsex&c2=Uwb@~u-y~u@6Q1pydoi@wYvY3Q1Y9Q3Yyd&@@kV=rya9DNKK6OgjiEVS%25A3kLwxKWnW2nVqyzG9%25A3xg5VAhLos7mkaL06x8l~lsEr65AITOsY8PD8V%25sLUMwBlNE-9EpEhOUoyKR-7U%25sLqw~2uNZsyEEsrb-R6DMjHxraymmPnR8Zdg8THawkmfkwJLjMSFh%25A7yXOi4DG8cECgQF2zFA66jZTHem%25A3-lMu%25A7ai8JspCVgv~s9StzMVqGvAVlsYifkP5L~eXVPku9SbP%25sP6zPvUsQOFQObk6QFMAv53fm9xiSuhMopE&@@2f2jkjo=V4bv" target="_blank"><font style="color:#3a7cc2" color="#3a7cc2"><b>Can you help us reach 75,000 signatures by Tuesday?</b></font></a><br>
<br>
The more of us that speak out against militarized policing, the louder our voices will be.<br>
<br>
Just last Thursday, Eric Holder, the Attorney General and head of the Department of Justice, called for a sweeping federal investigation into the Ferguson police force. This is a great step towards accountability, and now that we have the Administration’s ear, <b>let’s tell them to stop funding the militarized arming of local police forces.</b><br>
<br>
Militarization of local police turns our communities into war zones, dehumanizes our children, and turns ordinary Americans into enemy combatants. Let's stand up together and<b> tell the feds: No more tanks rolling down Main Street.</b><br>
<br>
