DESCRIPTION:Join the Stop Urban Shield Coalition as we rally against the last Urban 
 Shield to take place!\n\nEarlier this year, communities in the Bay Area 
 achieved a huge victory by ending Urban Shield after a prolonged grassroots 
 campaign. With 2018 as its last year – we want to amplify our victory and 
 defend our gains in fighting police militarization! On September 7th, 
 coinciding with the Peoples Climate Movement - Bay Area mobilization, we 
 will be rallying against the Alameda County Sheriff's Office hosting the 
 final Urban Shield militarized war games and weapons expo. While the 
 Sheriff's Office and law enforcement officials continue to justify the need 
 for militarized policing programs by citing a need to respond to emergency 
 situations and disasters, we know that true emergency preparedness comes 
 from building up community strength, response, and resilience. \n\n\nWhat: 
 Rally for Community Resilience in the face of Climate Disasters and 
 Militarization\n\nWhen: Friday, September 7th from 4pm to 6pm\n\nWhere: 
 Alameda County Sheriff’s Office\n	1401 Lakeside Dr\n	Oakland, CA 
 94612\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/2095633930686822/\n\nFrom the 
 recent natural disasters in Puerto Rico, Sonoma County California, and 
 Texas, to crises in Haiti, New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, and the 
 Ghost Ship fire in Oakland, we have seen how militarized police responses 
 only contribute to the violence and chaos that people face in these 
 situations. During these disasters, we have seen how it is neighbors and 
 community members themselves that are the most effective first responders. 
 In defeating Urban Shield, we seek to uplift community based models of 
 preparedness and response over policing and militarization.\n\nJoin us for 
 a rally and mobilization featuring cultural artists, powerful speakers, and 
 disaster survivors as we draw the connection between militarism and climate 
 change, and demand real community based preparedness and responses to 
 natural and man-made disasters that do not rely on militarization.\n
