Big News!
For the first time in DECADES, the U.S. Senate leaders announced a bi-partisan agreement on gun violence prevention legislation!
For the last six years at Community Justice, we have urged lawmakers to pass legislation to invest in community-based violence intervention strategies to reduce and take legislative action to address the flood of guns into communities most vulnerable to gun violence.
Last week I even went and testified before Congress to demand change and fight for investments in our communities. Today, it’s clear they heard my voice, but more importantly, they heard all of yours.
In an agreement led by Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), we are proud to share this historic package will include policies that will be life saving for our communities, including:
*
Advances
Extreme
Risk
Protection
Orders
*
Efforts
to
Prevent

$

*

And
More!
While there is still much work to do, we wanted to make sure you heard this exciting news. We need you in the fight more than ever.
Please join me in calling your Senator to urge them to vote yes.
TAKE ACTION NOW [[link removed]]
Sincerely,
Greg Jackson,
Executive Director
P.S- next week we are launching a series of community violence prevention training camps, webinars, and volunteer opportunities- stay tuned to find out ways to help organize in your local community. Our communities can’t wait!
