Ending police violence in Maryland begins with you/us doing the following:

1). Who are my State Delegates/Senator? Type in your address and it’ll tell you: https://maryland.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=177afa87a67746a4ac5496b2d0897fb7

2). What is Anton’s Law? And are my State Delegates/Senator a co-sponsor? You can find out more here: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/hb1090?ys=2020RS

3). What does it take to get Anton’s Law passed? The committee of jurisdiction must FIRST vote the bill out of Committee. Here are the membership lists..

of both the House Judiciary and Senate Judicial Proceedings committees:

House: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Committees/Details?cmte=jud

Senate: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Committees/Details?cmte=jpr

4). Who are the opponents of Anton’s Law? The Fraternal Order of Police and the Maryland Police and Sheriffs Association. They’ve actively opposed efforts by advocates from our communities to bring about police transparency and accountability.

5). What is the Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights? It’s a law that grants extraordinary privileges, not rights, to law enforcement officers that ordinary citizens don't have, & that no other government employee holding a position of public trust has. It shields misconduct..

and the alleged efforts to address misconduct, behind a cloak of "personnel record privacy and confidentiality." You can learn more here: https://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2010/public-safety/title-3/subtitle-1

5). What can I do to help? Call, email and text your State Delegates/Senator to a support, co-sponsor and vote for the strongest version of Anton’s Law so it gets to the Governor’s desk. #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForAntonBlack
