DESCRIPTION:Berkeley city council members will be discussing the city's involvement and 
 participation in Urban Shield, a highly militarized SWAT training and 
 weapons expo. Join the Stop Urban Shield Coalition as we demand that 
 Berkeley withdraw their participation in the policing program.\n\nThe city 
 council will also be discussing the Berkeley police's crackdown of a 
 protest last December, in which people who came out to stand up against the 
 murders of Black people at the hands of police were brutalized. Police 
 claim that Urban Shield provides them with better training and skills to be 
 able to handle emergency situations. Yet as we see with their increasingly 
 militarized response to protests and everyday situations, Urban Shield 
 doesn't increase safety, but only leads to police gaining more tools, 
 tactics, and power in their repression and control of our 
 communities.\n\nPress Conference at 6:30p\nCity Council Meeting at 
 7p\n\nAlso here.\n
