📣 Take Action: Contact your MA State Rep & Senator about S397 and H548
We're currently advocating with our MA legislators to support S397 and H548, both acts to promote raising public awareness about safe firearm storage, to reduce risks of firearm tragedies to children and teens due to unsecured firearms.

🧡 Strategic Partner Event: Peace B'Que
This fun, community-centered event is calling you to volunteer! Join us at our table to hand out backpacks filled with back-to-school supplies (thanks to our partners at Boston Consulting Group and GVP member Brittany Moscoso). We are there to support our partners the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute and the local community, many of whom deal with gun violence on a regular basis. We have an opportunity to connect, support, and educate about our work to end gun violence.
The PeaceBQue is a free community BBQ that invites all community members to fellowship and enjoy one another's company with food, games, music and performances. The event encourages the community to focus on the good in their own backyard and provides a safe and positive outlet for community building locally.Contact: Angela Christiana
