DESCRIPTION:What does police militarization look like in San Francisco and across 
 California? Who does it impact? How do we change it? American Friends 
 Service Committee (AFSC) has been supporting communities across California 
 in advocating for police demilitarization, with the help of a new state law 
 that is bringing to light the extent of militarized policing in our cities. 
 Learn about this new law and its impacts across California, take a closer 
 look at San Francisco’s police militarization, and learn what you can do 
 to confront state violence in our communities.\n\nJohn Lindsay-Poland

 Service Committee (AFSC) in Oakland, California and coordinates the Stop 
 U.S. Arms to Mexico Project of Global Exchange. He has written about, 
 researched and advocated for human rights and demilitarization of US policy 
 for 40 years. He co-authored the 2022 award-winning AFSC report, "Equipped 
 for War: Exposing Militarized Policing in California" and. From 2015 
 through 2019, he was deeply involved in the Stop Urban Shield coalition, a 
 successful campaign to end an annual DHS-funded vendor show and SWAT 
 competition by dozens of police departments in the Bay Area. He is author
