Will your town be next?

Restore the Fourth AmendmentLast night, Hartford City Councilor Luis Cotto introduced groundbreaking legislation to restore civil rights and liberties in Connecticut's capital. With the support of a diverse local coalition, Cotto's bill—based on proposed reforms developed by BORDC to stop local police participation in racial profiling, federal immigration enforcement, and domestic surveillance—is the first of its kind.

This legislation offers a major opportunity for grassroots constitutionalists in Connecticut, and offers a compelling example for local officeholders—and their constituents—across the country. Hartford is just the beginning: local allies across the country are preparing similar proposals and reaching out to allies. Your town could be next.

Are you interested in protecting the rights and liberties of people in your city or town? 

Sign up to help build a local coalition to stop profiling and government surveillance where you live.

We'll support you every step of the way, and I will soon be in touch to help you get started.

Thanks for your support,
