Hi John, OMG, today is #GivingTuesday! When you give to States United now, you will be joining a global day of giving AND you will be preventing gun violence. Your donation right now to States United does the work that can’t get done in Washington, DC. You are supporting an amazing network of independent, grassroots, state-based gun violence prevention leaders. Your gift to States United today means there will be: - Public mural projects that allow young people to express themselves and heal, like the one led by Connecticut Against Gun Violence.
- Civil dialogue about the divisive issue of guns in America because of community conversations like the ones facilitated by Arizonans for Gun Safety.
- Peer mentoring of brand-new gun violence prevention groups, like the one based in Flint that's now getting support from the Michigan Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence.
- Peer-to-peer communication and citizen engagement of youth and other volunteers to create a stronger more diverse movement, such as the program sponsored by Wisconsin Anti Violence Effort.
When it seems like nothing is getting done in our capital, take heart. Your donation to States United right now on #GivingTuesday is preventing gun violence.
