Check in here to commit to ending gun violence in our country now.

This is a public health issue.

It is a moral issue.

It is an issue of life and death for all of us.

We need to gather together and persuade our legislators to change gun laws.

We need to gather together and work on changing a culture where gun violence has become normalized.

Find an organization in your area that is at work on this issue and join it or donate to it today. In Wisconsin we have WAVE https://waveedfund.org/ There are a lot of good organizations.

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence https://www.csgv.org/

Managed to change the laws on drinking and driving. Maybe look at how they managed to do that and follow suit.

I live on a country road. Two years ago someone shot up the stop sign adjacent to my house. A stray bullet hit my house FIVE FEET from where my son slept. The police never found who did it. The county judge gave my son the stop sign with the holes in it so he could tell his classmates about gun violence. This must stop! Our children are being killed and tormented!
