Friend,

Stand Your Ground laws are deadly, yet tomorrow lawmakers in the Ohio House are choosing to make it a priority. These laws are dangerous for multiple reasons: they're associated with the increase of homicides, they encourage the escalation of violence, and they have an undeniable disproportionate impact on communities of color.

That's why we're counting on you to join us in supporting our partners like the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence and Amnesty International to fight against the Stand Your Ground law House Bill 381 that Ohio lawmakers are trying to push forward tomorrow morning.

If you agree and are in this fight with us, here are the things you could do right now to join us:

1.
Call

on

5.
Write

SYG
again
and

the
House

stop

This is urgent – if we take action against these laws now, we could protect hundreds of innocent lives. We hope we can count on you for support!

Thanks for being in the fight with us.
