Grassroots pressure is working. After we sent 9,964 direct messages to California legislators demanding action against electric shock gloves, the California Legislature has passed legislation banning law enforcement officers from using them.

This is a huge victory and a critical step in the right direction, but the threat that sparked this campaign has not gone away nationwide.

Trump’s Department of Homeland Security wants to spend millions putting G.L.O.V.E. devices directly onto ICE agents’ hands. The gloves can deliver painful electric shocks through direct contact and are designed to force compliance. Reporting cited by the New York Times found that roughly 50 police departments across 20 states have already used the devices.

We need to turn one state’s action into nationwide momentum.

California has shown every state what action can look like, but even in California this fight is not finished. Governor Gavin Newsom still must sign the legislation by September 30, so Californians who take action will push him to finish the job. Everywhere else, we’re calling on governors and state legislators to introduce and pass their own prohibitions before ICE and local agencies turn electric shock gloves into another routine weapon.
