California's about to reach the finish line on passing police accountability into law. State legislators are voting soon on four crucial bills to help protect communities from police violence.
- A.B. 767 would allow victims of excessive police force to seek compensation.
- A.B. 1185 would authorize counties to establish a sheriff oversight board.
- A.B. 1196 would prohibit the use of chokeholds and other asphyxiating maneuvers.
- A.B. 1506 would, if local officials ask for it, require a state prosecutor to investigate officers killing unarmed civilians.
Police violence is gun violence — 95% of deaths of civilians caused by police are with a firearm. Do your part and speak up on this today.

Dear Senator,
As a California resident and a gun safety advocate, I urge you to support this suite of police accountability bills.

- A.B. 1185 would authorize counties to establish a sheriff oversight board.

It's time to curb the police violence that kills and harms Black, Latino and American Indian communities here in California. Thank you.
