Dear John, Gun violence devastates. First and foremost, it devastates those who are directly affected. Over time, however, it affects us all. It deteriorates our sense of community and safety, ultimately preventing people from reaching their full compassionate potentials. And that's precisely why we recognize the importance and urgency of preventing gun violence in Wisconsin. With your help, in 2022 we will work fiercely and tirelessly for evidence-based health and safety solutions, such as community-based violence prevention and intervention programs, extreme risk protection orders, and gun purchaser screenings (e.g., universal background checks). Help us maximize our efforts. Donate now, and it will be DOUBLED by a matching fund created by generous WAVE supporters.  Together, we can enter 2022 ready to - Support, engage and empower young people, the future leaders of the gun violence prevention movement.
- Promote democracy by encouraging civic participation (e.g., voting).
- Continue building and collaborating with a powerful statewide coalition of organizations fighting for a safer Wisconsin.
- Ensure that every elected official in Madison and Washington, D.C., hears from their constituents.
- Enhance our racial equity program to tackle the systemic racism at the root of gun violence in disproportionately impacted communities.
Please remember that the funds we raise now will make the above priorities possible, and if you donate before the end of the year, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by our matching fund. Let's make a difference in 2022, Heidi Rose
