Happy Veterans Day

Did you know on average, there are more than 6,000 Veteran suicides each year?

That is why we worked to pass the Massachusetts Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) law. ERPOs can be a safety planning tool for advocates working with veterans and military family members  who are worried about their loved ones safety due to access to a firearm.
