Hi Friends,

Progress is being made, but there is pushback as well.

First California passed a ban on ICE agents wearing masks in the state.

But California's ban has been undone in court.

However, masks are now banned by Connecticut, New Jersey, Washington State, Montgomery County Md., and Milwaukee Wis. -- with bills introduced in 27 other states.

State legislators and governors need to be hearing from us constantly. We need momentum to continue and grow.

Here's the message we've got set up for you to edit and send:

Traditionally, executioners, bank robbers, and killers in horror films wear masks. It's easier to do bad things and to frighten others when you cannot be held accountable, when you cannot be recognized as human. 

Gangs of masked men are kidnapping people in the United States on behalf of the U.S. government, and refusing to identify themselves. They could be non-governmental criminals, for all anyone knows, and yet refusal to obey them is treated as a crime, even if their victim had not been accused of any other crime prior to that moment. 

It's time to ban ICE masks!

Please make this small effort for this important demand!
