*Tuesday, August 26th: NATIONAL CALL-IN DAY*
Three things you can do to oppose Urban Shield & Police Militarization 
from Oakland to Ferguson:
*1. Call the Oakland Marriott Convention Center Now! *
Ask to speak with Lisa Kershner, General Area Manager of Oakland 
Marriott City Center and Oakland Convention Center. Her direct 
line: (510) 466- 6410

Sample script:
/"/My name is  _____  from _____, _____ and I am appalled that Urban 
Shield will be taking place at the Oakland Marriott Convention Center 
this September 4-8th. I am asking you to stand on the side of 
communities that face police militarization every day. Don't enable the 
City of Oakland's weapons expos and SWAT trainings. Please make the 
Oakland Marriott Convention Center a safe place for all communities. If 
you do host Urban Shield, I will not use any Marriott facilities until 
you side with communities over state repression."//

/*The Stop Urban Shield Oakland campaign has 4 central demands:*/

 1. The City of Oakland must defund all activities related to
    Urban Shield, and all city agencies must withdraw their
    participation in Urban Shield.
 2. We demand an end to all City collaborations with the Apartheid State
    of Israel.
 3. We demand that the City of Oakland invest in
    community-based programs proven to decrease violence and harm
    instead of in the increased militarization of its police force and
    emergency services.
 4. We call on our communities to continue fighting back and resisting
    state violence and repression.
