Help end the crisis of domestic violence that plagues Wisconsin.
John,
We hope the holiday season offered you time for reflection and that the new year is bringing hope and growth.
We know the holiday season meant many people spent more time at home with family. Sadly, for some people, "home" is not a safe environment – not during the holidays, and not during any other time of the year.
In Wisconsin, a dangerous loophole makes it nearly impossible to prevent many domestic abusers from accessing guns. Because most domestic violence homicides are committed with guns, this is a deadly oversight.
A bill has been introduced to address this problem – but lawmakers must act now, before the legislative session ends. They absolutely can do something about this: they just need to act.
P.S. If you or someone you love is experiencing domestic violence, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233, or visit our website to find a list of domestic violence resources in Wisconsin.
