Masked and unmarked ICE agents (real or fake) are causing fear and chaos in our communities. California legislators have introduced the No Secret Police Act, which would prohibit law enforcement officers from hiding their identities during public operations. Urge your local leaders to act. 👇

“It’s the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.”
It's a play in three regressive parts:
