DELAWARE- Putting on the pressure, Delaware civil rights and social justice groups launched a campaign this week in hopes of getting the General Assembly to get police reform passed.
“I think that’s what makes this very unique is that all of the organizations have been advocating for police reform but not collaboratively and coordinating with one another,” Mike Brickner, Exec. Dir. for the ACLU of Delaware, said.
The campaign is called, Delaware: Police Accountability NOW, made up of groups like the ACLU of Delaware and the NAACP of Delaware.
They’re hoping to pressure the Law Enforcement Accountability Task Force and other lawmakers to pass police reform before the end of session.

After more than 10 months of protests, activism and a fall election that brought in several new pro-reform lawmakers into the Statehouse, the campaign is essentially the final push to get the General Assembly to pass substantial changes before the end of the legislative year on June 30. After that, lawmakers go on a six-month break.

Director of the Abilene Animal Services Shelter, Mike Bricker says, we currently have some spectacular and beautiful dogs. Many of which are house broken and can follow basic commands. The saddest part is, when you look into these animals eyes you can see, all they want is a forever home. Add to that the fact that many of the big dogs we currently have are extremely hard to place
