Stop Urban Shield!

Protest Alameda County Sheriff Ahern’s

militarized police exhibit and exercises

Urban Shield is the largest SWAT training & war-weapons expo in the world. We will gather on September 11th, across communities, to end it & resist police militarization around the world!

Join the Stop Urban Shield Coalition to say NO to policing, militarization and state violence!

While Urban Shield is just one front in the fight against the state’s attempt to militarize every aspect of our lives – from its war-making here and abroad, to the increasing presence of police in our schools, to the systemic murder of Black and Brown people at the hands of police – stopping Urban Shield would be a major victory against this growing trend of militarization in cities everywhere, from Oakland to Ferguson to Baltimore.

Join us in resisting violence against our communities and in fighting for genuine visions of justice, safety, and self-determination.
