Reducing Gun Violence

We join Americans in saying enough is enough!  Too many people are killed, injured, and impacted by experiencing gun violence.  Read about the events that we are sponsoring on Reducing Gun Violence - A Moral Imperative on April 7 and April 9.

Participate in the Interfaith Call-In to Prevent Gun Violence

Visit http://faithscalling.org for the number you need and call your Senators and Representative April 9 to insist that they act to prevent gun violence! Ensure that the voices of faithful Americans ring throughout the halls of Congress. Demand Congress enact universal background checks – or bans on semi-automatic assault weapons & high-capacity magazines, gun trafficking, and improving access to mental health services.
