🚨 Take action 🚨 We call on League members and other #SanFrancisco residents to contact your supervisor about the SF Police Department's proposed military equipment use policy. Email your supervisor ASAP! They vote Tues, Nov 29.

Tell them:

2. Robots should not be authorized for deadly force or other use of force.
3. Require accountability. Do not pre-authorize acquisitions.
