Tell Your Lawmakers: No Masks For Law Enforcement Agents in Oregon!

Masked law enforcement agents, often with no identification, make it difficult for the public to know who is in our neighborhoods, what they are doing, and whether their actions are lawful. Indeed, it is difficult for the public to know if masked operatives are actual government agents or impersonators.

Tell your Oregon Legislators: Vote ‘YES’ on HB 4138 LEAVA!

The Law Enforcement Accountability and Visibility Act (LEAVA) strengthens public trust by ensuring that all law enforcement actions in Oregon are more transparent, visible, and accountable.

LEAVA:

• Requires law enforcement officers operating in Oregon to visibly identify themselves, who they work for, and to unmask. 
• Builds a firewall between state/local public employees and the federal government to protect our civil rights and liberties.
• Draws clear lines between state/local and federal law enforcement operations, and provides for transparency when cooperation occurs.

Act now: Write Lawmakers — ‘YES’ on LEAVA!
