Are police becoming too militarized? Does the use of military-grade tactical gear intensify or de-escalate conflict? How can local communities ensure transparency and accountability in the use of acquisition of military combat equipment by law enforcement?

John Lindsay-Poland will discuss Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), a law intended to increase transparency and accountability around the acquisition and use of military-grade weapons and equipment by state and local law enforcement. Learn about the role of community oversight in ensuring compliance. Join the conversation.

John Lindsay-Poland co-directs the California Healing Justice program of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). He focuses on human rights and police demilitarization.
